"This boat was purchased last
"This boat was purchased last fall and was running when purchased. It is the 140 model with dual carbs. It will not start and continue to run. I can get it to turn over and it will fire, but not stay running on its own. I have disconnected the fuel line from the gas tank and am drawing fuel from a can of fresh gas. I have changed the fuel filter and have tried to loosen the connecting bolts where the fuel lines that go into the carborators to make sure I am getting fuel to them in the event there is an air lock. It tightened them back up when fuel was coming out. I'm not sure what else to try here. I have two of the three basic components; electricity to the plugs, fuel to carborators (I think) and air for ignition.
Is there an auto choke? The linkage appears to move freely. There was a screw on the throttle lever and gear control that was disconnected that I reattached. It held a clamp that supported the shifter cable. Don't know if that is related in any way. This is my first boat, therefore don't know all the intricacies."
