I recently got a 110 johnson...it has been sitting for approx. 2 yrs...it will fire but not stay running. i pump the bulb till it is hard then choke and start..it will bearly stay running if i keep pushing the choke in while it is going..do you think the diaphram in the fuel pump is hardened and not working?
 
If it sat with fuel in the carburetors then likely they need to be cleaned.----------Testing is the way to proceed !--------Why was the motor sitting for the previous owner , perhaps something wrong 2 years ago ??------Test compression first. ----Then test to make sure you have spark that will jump a gap of 7/16" on all 4 leads.
 
Actually I took pics of it for if I'm on the boat after I posted this. If anyone wants it I can put it on dropbox and send you a link. Not as good as a pdf but very readable and free.
