Well, apart from using some punctuation, how is the compression?, the timing? Are you getting spark? are the plugs the right ones and gapped correctly, what about points gap?

You should probably check your compression, check your timing and dwell, check your fuel filters before you go buying a carb on a whim... but hey, 1/2 my business comes from people who throw megabucks in parts into their boats and don't do any diagnosing.

Did it run well before the work? If yes start rechecking. It's always something stupid. Like crossed wires, kill switch, fuel supply, neutral safety switch...
