Back again guys. 1985 searay twin 165's w/4brl carbs. Well heres the outcome. Had carb rebuilt and still didn't start. Smell lots of fuel even when cranking at idle on throttle control. For sometime we thought we were having electrical problems. Instead of spending alot of money and knowing Starboard motor runs great I took everything electronic (cap, rotor, ignitor, coil, wires, and anything else that would give spark or make start) and took it off port motor (won't start) and put it on starboard side. FIRED RIGHT UP. So, with all that was good on starboard I put it on Port. I get great spark all around now but still to much fuel. When I looked in carb to see about fuel it was splashing and hitting my face about 2 feet above motor. I have 110 to 120 PSI on both motor for compression so thats ok. Someone at marina said they smelled fuel from accross the lot. I checked fuel pressure and there I have about 4.5 PSI so thats good also. When I took off carb there was a huge puddle of fuel laying in intake.
My thought correct me if I am wrong: Bad carb rebuild?
