Hi guys, new here. So I've recently purchased a boat. This is my first boat that I've ever bought or owned. Its a 1990 Campion 16ft with a Mercruiser 2.5L 120HP inboard engine. I've done some things to this boat including changing all the bellows. I've also cleaned out the fuel pump, fuel lines and carburator but for some reason it just doesn't want to stay running. The carburator is a 2 barrel carburator. I've taken off and cleaned the carburator about 2 or 3 times already. The engine would start and run great(even without choke on cold start) for 2 or 3 seconds and then bog down, shake and just die. I tried to look around youtube and google but there are no videos or steps to help. I've been trying to get it running for 2 weeks now working on it constantly everything single day. At this point I'm about to lose all hope and patience. It would be great if someone could help me out here. Thanks.
