"Hi,
Got a 1988/89 Mercury 2stroke 4hp (made in Japan) that won't start. I can squirt gas directly into the carb and it starts on the first pull. I rebuilt the fuel pump with all new gaskets/parts and still no luck.
Removed carb to clean bowl and check float and all is fine. However its not pulling fuel into the bowl, but I am 100% positive that the fuel pump is working (its part of the carb on this engine).
What am I missing? Why is the carb not causing the fuel pump to pull fuel into the bowl? - Again all new parts on the fuel pump (including the screws that hold it in place!).
thanks"
