1986 15 hp gamefisher WONT START!!!!

[duckhunter91]

I had just recently purchased a jon boat with a 1986 15 hp gamefisher on it when i bought it it cranked right up but it needed a new impeller for the water pump and it had bad gas in it because the guy let it set up for a year. So i changed the impeller and put a trash can full of water under the motor and cranked it up just after i mixed new gas it ran for few second but would not run in idol. So i figured since it sat for so long mabe the float was hung up in the carb so i took it off and sprayed i down with carb cleaner it was purdy nasty and put it back on and still no start. Ok since this time i had no start i changed the plugs and guess what no start. So is there anyone out there that can tell me whats wrong please.

The Carb probably looks like this one

Remove part number 15 and spray some carb cleaner in there then screw it back in all the way then back 1 and 1/2 turns and try and crank it again. When you prime it does the ball stay hard?
