Have a 1986 OMC 3.0.. Has always run perfect . This past weekend motor was as usual running great while tubing then......, the linkage between the throttle cable, and the " what I would call the accelerator pump" broke... Would not run.... Replaced it today, and cannot seem to get motor to start or keep running... It does not seem to want to get fuel ....If I feed gas down the throat, it will start and run for a few seconds then die.. I checked the both fuel filters..good..... When moving the accel. pump by hand, gas shoots into the carb. plenty of pressure from the pump as well.. Something probably stupidly simple must not be hooked up correctly on the carb.....
Any simple ideas before spending $$ at a mechanic.. And of course i do not have the mannual for this motor....Should probably get one.. any idea where...
Thanks
