"Okay, it's a 2000 9.9 4-s
"Okay, it's a 2000 9.9 4-stroke Tohatsu. The guy I bought it from accidentally knocked the fuel hose loose and it sucked water into the fuel. Now it only runs if you cover the air intake with your hand. I only got the motor so it has a new fuel tank, hose and fittings. I replaced the plugs and cleaned the carb and fuel pump. I changed the fuel filter, engine oil and oil filter. It runs great with my hand over the air intake, but dies as soon as you remove it. Without the intake blocked it still starts on first pull but dies within 5-10 seconds. Anybody have any ideas?"
