Where do I start. My 17 year old son brought this boat home, No history on if it runs, when it ran last etc. etc. I looked on-line and the VIN number says its a 1971 mercury 1350. I thought we'd throw a few bucks at it and see if it runs. So far we rebuilt the fuel pump, and all 3 carbs, and replaced all fuel lines.
Last night it fired up and ran for 10 seconds at a time before quitting again. We had it run like this several times but wouldn't stay running. I have read several posts, and adjusted the idle screws to 2 turns out. I'll try again tonight, where should I look next?
Thanks,
Ken B.
