Hello I was just gifted a 1988 vip that has the 4.3 omc cobra 2 barrel 175hp I believe it had been sitting for 3 years I changed the oil the filter the fuel filter and I put a new carb on the boat after that I started it in my driveway poured a little bit of gas in the carb and it fired right up the idle was a little high but I was able to start it multiple times so I took it to the lake for a test run backed it down the ramp started right up ran for about 1 minute and died and I can not get it to start again even in my driveway now before I went I filled the gas tank and added seafoam I'm thinking I've got some clogged fuel lines but I did see when I have it throttle gas was shooting but while turning the engine over I'm not sure so now it's acting like it wants to start but just won't I know check spark compression etc I'm thinking I might have a clog anymore suggestions?
