My 40hp Jahnson is not getting any gas, I took the plugs out and they are dry. I am new to boating and dont know what to do. Should I clean out the carb if so, how. Looking for the best way to do this. Is there anything else that could cause this?

Re: carb problems

One easily corrected possibility. You can connect the fuel line from the gas tank backwards. In most cases, the primer bulb should be closest to the gas tank. I got a boat cheap that way. ;)
