"I have a 150 mercury saltwate
"I have a 150 mercury saltwater series, 2000 year. The engine wasn't used last summer so it has been sitting around for a while now. I changed the plugs, some lines, and did all the normal maintenance, but I cant get the thing started. I had it going for a little while but once I shut it down I couldn't get it going again.
The gas was treated when it was stored, but that was prob 15 months ago. The fuel lines are good, the spark plugs are good, but I just cant get it going.
The carburetor was leaking oil/gas into the airbox when I checked after trying to start it, I wasn't sure if this was from it being flooded or another problem.
The engine seems like it wants to start, and almost has a few times, but I just cant get it going. Does it sound like a car problem, maybe they are clogged? could it be bad gas?
Any help would be much appreciated"
