How is the Outboard acting?

Have you tried sea foam first?

[Trilynx]

Make that two votes, for try Seafoam first

[bow slayer]

well it wont start. there is spark,just not getting gas into carb. The bowl at bottom of carb is full of gas so I am guessing the float is stuck or the jets are completely plugged. Not sure if seafoam will help that.

Remove carb... take carb apart.. clean carb..put carb together... reinstall carb. . Ge t a can of carb spray cleaner.. if you can find it.. it's harder to find now... for some reason... if not dismantle.. soak in varsol (no rubber parts) use an a ca of air to blow out all the small orifices. . CARB WILL be good as new...

A mechanic will (most likely) charge you about 2 hours labour and that will be well over a hundred bucks. I'd do some online research to try and find some parts diagrams and carefully take it apart myself to see what is up. You could probably order a Clymer Manual from Indigo for $25. If the carb is varnished though......
