"I recently aquired a 18ft boa
"I recently aquired a 18ft boat with, i believe, a 1991 johnson 100 outboard. the engine sat for over 2 years and after thouroughly cleaning the carb, it still wont idle properly. it will stay running if i manually hold the butterflies on the carb open. one of the fuel lines that runs from what i think is the fuel pump to the top of the carb is clear, and i can see air bubbles running through the line with the fuel....i'm guessing thats my problem but i'm not sure...this is my first marine engine so i'm still trying to learn....any help would be much appreciated... thanks"
