Re: 50 Merc won't start
Disconnect fuel line at carb and see if fuel pump is pumping gas. If there's no gas check each component from the gas tank forward,including the tank. The tank is probably rusted and "junk" is plugging up the tank outlet.
If fuel pump is pumping you might have a stuck float.
When you accuate the accelerator pumps do you see gas squirting out of the jets in the carbs?
Carbs may need to be cleaned and rebuilt after 2 years of sitting.
