AQ 120b idles then dies

I was under power then it died, would start again but only runs about 3 sec. In gear I can keep it running by pumping the throttle. Fuel pump? Fuel filter plugged?

stuck float?

Your carb has got some junk in it and will only run on the acc pump. It's pushing enough fuel down the throat of the carb for an instant run and when it's gone it dies. The carb needs to be cleaned.

Took off the carb and sprayed it with sea foam and I'm back in action. Thanks Gary.
