Ok I took the boat out again and same thing had to splash the carb with fuel mixture before it started the it ran perfect. So when I got home I took the hood off . Then the screen/baffle from top of carb. There is a small linkage missing that controls the choke and closes the flaps. Looked up the carb on marine engine site. It’s hard to tell what goes to where from the diagram but looks like maybe the choke control was missing. I’m hoping that was the right part, that’s the one I ordered anyway thanks for the suggestions

It's a jungle out there.
