bought 1968 starcraft hoilday with a 120 merc i/o. po said teh fuel pump needed to be replaced. Took pump apart tonite and cleaned it now its pumping fuel just fine. My problem is that the fires when i pump a couple of times on the throttle, but it wont keep supply itself with fuel. I'm think a carb rebuit but wanted to see if anyone else had any suggestions:D

Yeah, If you can nurse it to keep it running, it's carb time. That's a rochester ya' know.
