2005 75hp won't idle

I have 2005 75hp honda with electric and manual choke. It sat for about 1 1/2 years without cranking, ran fine prior to sitting. I emptied the old gas and started with high octane ethonol free gas with sea foam added. It cranked but would not remain running after releasing the choke. Three days in a row I have cranked with no problems but will not continue to run after removing from choke, runs great other wise.
Any suggestions?
 
Re: 75hp won't idle

When carburetors are allowed to sit with fuel in them for prolonged periods of time then the wee jets and passages plug up.----------The solution ----------Take them apart for cleaning ( yes they must come apart )--------------In the future run the fuel out of carburetors if the boat is going to sit.

Thanks, I was afraid of that. Sounds like I need to order the in depth repair manual to insure all gaskets and so forth are replaced.

Get a magnifying glass, lots of light and a bucket of patience.--------------Time consuming if you are doing the first one but satisfying when it runs like a Honda " again.
