"I need help..I have 79 Merc 115 inline 6. Serial No. 5139837 Got water in tank. Clean tank, pulled all 3 carb and clean bowls and needles,blew out cylinders and all lines. I now have fuel to carbs, and in bowls, but carbs aren't putting any gas into engine. I can use starter fluid and make start. Plugs are dry and I can't see any gas flowing inside carb. I am stumped and would appricate any help you could give.

Did you reassemble the carbs with new parts? Have you checked your fuel pump? Stop using starting fluid. There is no lube in it. Instead put premix in a spray bottle and use that.

"i had similar problems w/80 hp, it doesn't take much to foul the jets, and if i remember correct there are three, took a couple of times of trial and error to get the critical 3rd jet"

"It was always possible to blo

"It was always possible to blow the needles of their seats with this motor, if you can prime it up gently and no fuel leaks out this is ok, but if you have fuel leaking out you will have to kit the carbies"
 
"Thanks for the help so far...

"Thanks for the help so far...I did not put new parts in carbs...I took carbs off and blew out the small hose, the tube sticking up inside the carb and everything else I could see with b-12. I did not remove the jets or disassemble the carb except I did remove the top of the bowl and clean the needle and seat and checked the floats. I had a large amount of water in the fuel...so should I remove the jets and blow them out? What makes the cars actually flow fuel...the is no pump in carbs?"
