I have a 2002 Nissan 18HP 4 stroke outboard on my boat I recently acquired. It will only start of I spray starter fluid in air intake box leading to carb. I know this is bad to do so I kept it to a minimum. It would run for a few seconds and die out. I took carb out and cleaned it then put back on and tried again. This time same thing except when I gave it gas it ran a little longer than before. So I cleaned carb again. Still same thing happens. Maby 20 seconds and it kills out. I check all fuel lines and fuel filter and there good. I also took off drain bolt and primed it and gas comes out every time I squeeze the primer. So I figured its getting fuel to the carb. I did notice something funny with the primer like the inside of it was clogged or the inside layers somehow got clogged and mingled inside of it. I am going tomorrow to buy a new one.
Would the primer bulb cause it not to start or Maby the carb needs to be cleaned again.... I'm not sure that's why I'm here for help if anyone has time to help a fella out . I also read it could be the automatic choke on top of the carb or fuel pump but I'm clueless .
