1979 85hp Johnson

[Fuzz Fuzzleton]

I have a 1979 85hp Johnson, ran fine until recently. It just stopped running. It fires up then shuts back down. Just did a carb rebuild, new fuel pump, new fuel lines, new plugs. I don’t know what else to do or what it could be. After the carb rebuild it ran great off the muffs. Once I got it to the water for a test run I got maybe 100 yards from the dock before it went back to having issues. It’ll start then shut down within a few seconds. Thanks in advance for the help.
