"You experienced folks probably love watching the progression of problems and questions as we try to work through getting old boat running
Solved the power to the trim/tilt and start. Then there was no spark. Replaced the distributor/rotor/condenser/plugs and wires and then there was spark!
Now trying to start, it will sometimes start if I have the throttle full open. When it does it runs along at a jerky 100 or so RPM and won't ever recover to an idle. If I move the throttle position it dies.
Conventional wisdom would say to check the fuel subsystem. I've checked both fuel filters, and they look good. There appears to be a good flow of fuel to the carb. It's been sitting for 10 years. Should I take the carb apart and dip it in carb cleaner?
Any suggestions on where to start on this latest issue?
Many Thanks,
Bob"
