80 hp Merc won't idle

[bigiron]

the motor is an 80HP 1979 Merc. It will start when I use the choke but when I release the choke it will die. I have advance the spark to rais rpm's but when I release the choke it still dies. I am sure it is not getting enough gas but I don't know what to check next.
