can anyone one help?
i have a merc blue band 80,s model 70 hp 3 cyl.........im having probs starting it.
iv replaced all filters fuel lines primer bulb etc,the plugs are wet when i check , but it just wont start up.
ive sprayed a fuel/oil mix straight down the carby, then it fires okay but will only run for a short time while it burns that fuel.
after that it just wont run.
it ran great last time i had it out, which was a while ago though.
the fuel is fresh!
any one have the same prob? or can anyone help

kind regards

tony

Sounds like the inlet needles are stuck, so you will need to clean the carbs.
