Someone please help! A friend recently gave me a 1996 Yamaha waverunner that had been sitting at his dock for a year(of course he bought a new one). I have repleaced the battery, fuel filter, spark plugs, cleaned out the entire thing. I checked all lines to make sure there were not any cloged. If I pour gas directly into carb it starts right up and runs until gas is gone. I have checked the fuel pump because it seems as if it is just starving for gas, fuel pump is working fine. I am lost.....please help!
