Guys, I've got a 125hp (4cyl, carb.) Going through a standard summerization & I can't get it to stay running. I've pulled the plugs, cleaned & put back. Pulled the inline fuel filter, blew through it with nearly no restriction. The fuel line from the tank-ball- engine looked/felt pretty old & hard so I replaced that as well, but it still hasn't corrected it.

It's on a little fishing boat & when I get it started I can keep it going for a little while (5-10 secs longer than w/o) by spritzing starting fluid into the intake, but it still ends up dying.

Any Ideas?

Regards,

it might be that the bulb (squeezy) went bad over the winter.
