28hp mariner problems

[Guest sandpipper]

Hi guys ive got real problem getting my mariner 28hp started, ive put in new

spark plugs

points

condensers

impeller

water pump

the points are set right as is the timming and ive stripped the carb gave it a good clean it was blocked up with hard gunge.

The funny thing was it would start after 20/30 pulls so it made me think of a fuel problem its got fresh oil/petrol mix.

Today i took the carb off again gave it a pull to check that the fuel pump was working and it started on one pull without the carb on now im confused.

Flooding ???

If plugs arent getting wet and if the carb was gunged up my bet is the jets, take them out and blow them clear, use carb cleaner, dont be tempted to poke wire through them but if they are really blocked you could use fishing line.

give the jets a good clean and makesure you are not getting air in,on the fuel line /bulb.
