Last weekend had a surging idle. Ran good top end. Adjusted mixing screws, added fuel stabilizer, octane boost. Still really bad idle. Dying at idle or when put in gear.

Took carb off boat Wednesday and no fuel on line when I removed from boat. Took carb apart this morning and found no fuel in bowl. Never saw a leak any where. Had to have missed it though.

Stumped.

Boat isn't here, so just trying to get some ideas before I head up to the boat and start troubleshooting. Definitely checking fuel line from pump and turning over engine to make sure mechanical fuel pump is pumping fuel.

Anything else to look at?

Calling around for a carb gasket set now.

TIA.
