I lost my keys for my boat so I put in a new ignition switch I think I didn't get the wiring correct it will crank but won't start it was acting like it wanted to start a couple of times but the starter wouldn't disengage so I have a yellow wire a purple wire a gray wire and 2 red wires anyone...

Got it started on a separate fuel source it was definitely bad gas got a question thought someone rigged the throttle linkage with wire and I'm just wondering of there is anywhere on earth I can find that original throttle linkage

Ok I'll watch for dripping I honestly think I messed up I added fuel after the boat was sitting for 3 years and I think I ruined all my gas and I think it's flooding because it won't start but i haven't messed with a carb since I was a teenager

It's a brand new carb

Any idea what the points gap should be? I disconnected the fuel tank and tried to see if it would fire up with some starter fluid wouldn't I checked the spark I'm getting spark I'm pretty sure it's flooded I can see a pool of gas down in the carb any ideas on how to un flood the engine as well

I'll try that I did change the fuel water separator but I did not prime it
