Mercuiser 305/ 230 hp. first start up of the year. Motor exhibiting a classic no gas condition and refused to fire except with starting fluid and/ or gas dripped down the Quadrajet.
Checked for gas pressure at carb--good--and a dirty filter in the carb--clean as a whistle!
As I've often said, one can "fix a carb with a screw driver and a hammer" and that's what cured it: the needle was stuck in place and no gas could get by. After rapping the carb a few times the gas entered and away she went!
