Good evening,

I just purchased a 1977 110 9.8 hp. motor. It last ran a year ago. I purged the tank and lines in the fuel can. Fuel reaches the carburetor. The engine wouldn't start. I took some of the fuel and squirted it in the carburetor and it will start for a second or two. Not sure what to suspect next. Open to all answers. Thanks! Garry
