    Mercruiser 3.0 started twice perfectly overfilled the gas now won't start

    Thank you for the videos! I have the best father in law that likes to help with projects like this. With these videos I think we will be able to handle the stringers and rot. I already found a couple others to reference too. I'll be back and post the finished whenever that gets done.

    I have cranked it until one of my batteries died lol. I didn't do it all at once. I didn't want to make the starter crank that long but over a couple of days I cranked it a lot. My choke button is a bit wonky, I may need to check to make sure it is working properly.

    So it would probably be best to take the carburetor off and check the float and needle?
