Help. Why won't my 2.5 merc run without choke?

Super simple. As the fuel rises, the float travels up and the float needle pivots down and seals off the supply off fuel until the float drops back down again.
Hope that makes sense.
Perfect sense, thank you. I'll have one more crack at it when I get home. I've wasted enough time and polluted the beach thoroughly.

Vacation time should be spent for enjoyment. If you’re getting on the water with oars and you still catch fish, then leave the troubleshooting until after you’re back home. Unless you’re using this thread to flip and sell used outboards. :rolleyes:
 
So, no more dumping gas in the lake today?
Nope, packed up and left it for another day. 2 hours from Canoe to Hope, has to be some kind of record. Ate at that Greek Restaurant in Hope and it was surprisingly good. Then it took us three more hours to get home from there. Bumper to bumper at 10PM on a Sunday.
