I am a new boat owner and this is my first time working on an outboard (with the help of some knowledgable friends). My Evinrude 6hp 1967 motor will not start. It only runs when I shoot some carb cleaner in it, granted it is only for a few seconds at least I know it has life. So, I took apart the carburetor, cleaned and replaced all the parts. But when I attach the carb back on and begin pumping fuel into it, the gas comes flowing out of the overflow hole immediately. What gives?
I have taken the carb off and checked the needle and seat. All looks good and clean. Everything is brand new.
Could anybody give me some advice? I want to get my boat in the water!
Thanks!
