My Mercury 9.9 kicker not stay running, new fuel tank changed fuel line from tank to motor, line from connector on engine to fuel pump, fuel pump. Remove fuel inlet line to carb can see fuel pumping out. Seems to run if bowl pumped full of fuel. Is it possible carb could be the fault and where can you buy one?

Carb probably needs to be cleaned. There are some passages that will get clogged up and make cold starts hard and it will idle poorly or not at all. I have one in great condition (I upgraded to a 15) if you're interested.
