It wont start

It is a mid 70's 75hp chrysler

It was running good until i ran out of gas(gas gauge is broke)

When it started to spit and sputter,it died and i tried to restart it and it seemed to back fire.

I used the trolling motor to get to the gas dock(almost a hour trip)lol and got fuel.

Primed the ball,sprayed alittle starting fluid and nothing.

So today I took the carbs off and put on the spare set I had.

Still nothing,I checked and I have great spark.

A few times as I was trying to turn it over,it back fired,and then nothing

I looked at the fuel pump,and there is fuel.I looked at the carb bowl and there was fuel.

Could there be some thing clogging?

What else should i check?

Thanks

Rich

Re: ran out of gas and now...

Well i popped off the head and I have 2 holes in my head gasket

I got one ordered and I am also going to put the power head on the 85 force lower I have,to get better cooling.Should have done that in the first place
