Hello all and let me say nice forum. Have been here many times for valuable info but this is one I just need to ask.

The platform is a 1983 merc long shaft tiller

I first thought the fuel tank was a problem. Apparently it isnt. I can detach the fuel line at the carb and pump the bulb and fuel comes out the hose that attaches at the carb.

What i did notice was that the fuel inlet at the carb when i remove the hose I can see fuel sitting there in that inlet. This motor has a squared primer block and when i push it in a few times the fuel does nothing there. It seems like something is blocked there ....or ??????? I dont want to rip this carb off and....

I am open to any and all suggestions.

Thanks for any and all replies.
