I went away for 3 weeks and my boat swamped. The motor was tilted up so the carbs and starter were under water. The water did not get up to the CDI but the coils under the flywheel look like they got wet. I replaced the starter and rebuilt the carbs. I did a compression test and the cyls are at ~125. I put all the stuff back together and I can only get the motor to run for about 15 seconds after quite a bit of cranking. I suspected the fuel pump so I hooked a tank of good gas directly to the carbs, kept pressure on the bulb and still the same thing. BTW the boat swamped in brackish water.

flush the fuel system, I suspect your reports of a carb rebuld.
I dont care if the carbs were rebuilt 10 mins ago. if ya get trash in them they quit.
