NEED HELP ?

1989 40 HP Evinrude Outboard won't start. Where do I start. The fuel line and ball stays hard. It's brand new. I looked at the fuel pump and cleaned it out. Did not replace filter, just cleaned it. Put new spark plugs in. I didn't check for spark, but it was running yesterday, The problem it wouldn't stay running after five minutes. This is why I didn't check for spark.
What to do next? I know I missed something. Thank you in advance.

tight lines

I woulld start by checking the spark, maybe try squirting some fuel mixture directly into the carb.
