dirty carb after winterising

[richard p]

Anybody got a solution for this problem
1800 with 3.0 tks 2014
winterised by carb cleaner then fogging engine,then fogging spark plugs
spring time
engine starts up first time, gets to temperature, choke goes off ,low idle, as soon as i put into gear engine starts to die
changed fuel filter
changed spark plugs
cleaned filter into carb
still cutting out when i put it into gear or dies after revving in neutral
also full tank of fresh petrol
I put the boat to bed working perfectly but then is very grumpy when i wake it up.

Did you add a fuel stabilizer and run the engine to get it through the carburetor when winterization was done? If not there could be gumming in the carb. The TKS carb doesn’t have a choke but instead an enriching circuit that provides more fuel until it’s thermal sensor warms up.
