Hello Gents,
I am new to the forum and from what I can tell y'all know your stuff. I was hoping y'all could help me out. I traded for a 1648 mod-v and a 30hp Johnson a while back. The guy said the carb was gummed up but other than that it ran great. So being the trusting person I am I believed him... Mistake. I've clean the carb 3 different time, soaked it over night, I've pulled and cleaned the fuel pump, changed spark plugs (gapped at .030), and put a new fuel line from the tank to the motor. I got it running a couple weeks back and let it run for 15-20min with the muffs on and everything seemed great. I went out the next day and tried again and nothing. Clean the carb again and still nothing. I don't have the tool to check compression but when it ran it ran good.
What else can I check?
