carburator problem? 25 HP mariner

[cecrouser]

Motor has set up for awhile. I removed the carb and cleaned it before setting it up. Motor will start, but dies right away. If I keep hitting the choke it will keep running. I have removed the carb three times and cleaned it. Still does the same thing. Motor is a Mariner 25E SS# 695 S 25295

Bad fuel pump?<br /><br />Will it continue to run if you manually squeeze the bulb in the line?

No, I tryied that and I took the hose loose,turned the key and gas came from the out let. Changed out the line and bulb between the trank and motor too.

Maybe your carbs need more than a cleaning, perhaps you have a stuck needle. Bad Floats...<br /><br />-andy

You probably need to further dis-assemble the carb before calling it clean. Or gently probe and spray the orifices for hardened deposits.
