Motor is hard to start, dies after just a few minutes of either idle ir jocking the butterfly. Fuel coming out of weep hole at enrichment plunger. Is the enrichment plunger a cold start accessory or is it also play a part in the running/idling issue? Been sitting,good spark,compression and carb has been soaked several times in engine tuner blah,blah. I feel fuel pump... But primer ball pumps up hard and stays hard,no weeping such as a pin hole... So again does enrichment plunger play a part in actual running operations. I bought this new in the box,last used 7 years ago. A friend of mine has an 08 same motor,same problem. After 40 hrs if chasing my tale, the boat shop charged 350.00 for a stuck needle,check ball at plunger,and claimed a mud dobber at timerbase. I call bull on all three cause the carb was just soaked the day befor,no flooding and i always make it a point to always make sure the timerbase moves freely.
