I got my boat fixed and now it wont start. No gas goes to the motor from the carborator. It's like there is a cut off valve or something what do I do?

    A shop manual will be very helpful here for float settings and exploded pictures of the carburetor. Take the float bowl off and remove the jets. Sounds so easy doesn't it? Sometimes it is, and other times it's a mass of g**k. If it is, scrap as much of the g**k out as possible, and boil out the rest with carb cleaner. Now don't throw the whole thing in the cleaner, Look at it first. Does it have rubber seals  on the throttle shafts? Look close... sometimes these seals are hard to see and are not shown in the parts books, meaning you can't get them so you do not want to ruin them. If they are there and you can't get them you will have to scrap and clean the carb body carefully by hand and not soak it.

    I think This Helps!
