25 HP Mercury appears to be not getting fuel. Fuel filter is full but not getting to the carb. Any suggestions.:confused:

Carb was cleaned and I was told :confused:it could be the trigger switch, stator or power pack. It will crank when you prime it but after the fuel burns off it shuts down, which one of the above could it be,.

None of them, those parts are for the ignition, and obviously you have ignition or it wouldn't start. You have a fuel problem.
Prime it again, and start it. Then keep pumping the primer bulb after you start it and see if it will keep running.
If it does, you may have a faulty fuel pump.

Sounds like the inlet needle is stuck

It was replaced. Motor is doing fine now. Had one more problem but that is also solved. Bad gas tank, it was bought new and turned out to be a bad one. Thanks for the advise.
