140 hp marcruiser

[jgoodwill]

Had the boat out yesterday in the water under full load, it would hesitate and then shut off, it did this a few times and then it shut off the last time it would not restart, had to be towed back to shore. After getting the boat home, I have replaced the mechanical fuel pump on it, spark plugs and yeah, fuel lines, but will not restart, it will turn over.But cannot get it to to run. Any ideas I won't to do now?? This is an inboard motor.

Did you check for spark instead of bolting on new parts?

 

[jgoodwill]

Is fuel getting to carburetor?
Is fuel clean or contaminated?

 

[jgoodwill]

Fuel is clean
I'm not sure to be honest with younofnim getting fuel back to carb now or not. I know i have to the pump after that im not sure, it has a mechanical pump on it, i'm not shore, how to bleed all of the air out of it

Ok 1st, I'm assuming this is a 4cyl 140 and not the mid 60s inline 6cyl.
The fuel pump with filter assy built in is self bleeding as the fuel & air will pass thru to the carb bowl.
There should be a small filter in the fuel line connection at the carb. Takes a big wrench to remove it. 7/8" I believe after you have disconnected the fuel line.
