I have a 1976 Duo that i received for free due to a seized motor. I was going to rebuild the motor but cost was outweighing common sence.
So I found a OMC from the same era that i switched ALL the mercruiser stuff on to including wirring. The motor ran perfect when I went to look at it. It is now completed and in the boat. The other day i tried to start it and it woldnt start unless it was at full throttle. Then it would kind of run till i tried to move it out of throttle then would die. It also shoot gas from the top of the carb. Kind of like a jugular vein. So i took the carb off, took it apart to check the jets and all. And all seemed to move (the float) and blow through just fine. So i put it back together and now it is not shooting gas out of the top. It seems like it wants to start because it will pop bu tnot fire.
What could be my problem. It does get spark and compression. and it is getting gas.
Help would be very appreciated!!!!!
