OMC 460 Fuel Issue

1988 Four Winns 235 sundowner. 460 King cobra engine. Carbed.

 

Carb isnt getting gas. If i pump the throttle, just a little bit squirts down into the carb, but it just wont stay running. Worked just fine last season when we winterized it. If i put starting fluid in it it will run until the starting fluid burns up.

 

I know NOTHING about carbed engines. Where do i even begin?

could be many things. im assuming mechanical pump, it could be the pump, a stuck float needle, corrosion to the venturi tubes, etc. best to make sure your pump is working and then if all is good there, probably time for a rebuild

 

We pulled the fuel line off the Carb and no gas came out. To the best of my knowledge its a mechanical pump. Which I assumed works off vacuum.
