Really Greg, if you don't know what a carb looks like how are you going to repair it?
Yesterday I couldn't spell mechanic and now I are one. Buy a manual or better yet take it to a service shop.

Re: carb....where is it on the motor

I think I know what the carb looks like just not sure what to do. I will buy a book but that doesnt get me on the water today. I know how to fix the problem if I knew what was wrong. What I see is two carb flaps that are constantly open. They have controls but no wires going to the main control arm to open or close the flaps. there is a solinoid directly above the control arm. inside the solinoid is a rod in the shape of a cone. doesnt seem to have anything broken off. Like I said the boat ran for a half an hour now doesnt. the carb looks spotless. I've ajusted what I could with no success. I think I have to replace the gas line hoses from tank to engine. hose is old, and hard as a rock maybe not enough gas or too much oxygen. if I knew this to be the case I would replace and move on.

does anyone have a manuel???

Listen to the man, Greg. Anyone who works on an outboard without a Manual has a fool for a mechanic.

Patience is a virtue that will reward you. Impatience will punish you severely.

I take it the engine will not start. Once you have the Manual go to the Engine FAQs and troubleshoot with "Outboard won't start". Don't mess with the carbs until you know where the trouble is.
