98 mercruiser 5.7 Carb start no run
Hello have original motor 375 hrs. Unit has been sitting for extend period of time 2 years. Engine starts then dies right away will not idle tried spraying starter fluid still same results. Removed all old gas from tank all so replaced the spark plugs, wires, coil, cap, and rotors. Also replaced the manifolds and risers to if clogged. Checked cylinder compression all were above 100 psi. Rebuilt the carberator when starts see fuel spraying out of the carb. It is in the run position. When cranking have only 11v at coil positive. Thinking batteries not holding the charge or lanyard switch is gone bad.

Sounds like you have fuel. Do you have spark?
