I would start by removing the filter that will tell you if you have fuel that far.


Is it at all possible you are out of gas.

You could try using a different fuel supply. Remove the hose from the fuel pump that comes from the tank connect a lice of fuel line there put the other end in a 5 gal can see if it pics up fuel.

Re: no fuel at carb

This year my boat was not running after winter layup, no fuel. I pulled the fuel pump and it appears like it just rusted up and stopped working. Some oil in the mechanism and manual movement freed it up and no problems since.
