yes runs well matter of fact. it was suggested to me to rebuild fuel pump since it runs once it is started

All carb throttle plates have to be closed in order for the motor to start...did you do the lync and sync after reinstalling the carbs??? this is the single most missed item when people do the carbs on outboards...motor will run like crap, not idle, fall on its face etc..etc...good luck
