    Have a peak at your fuel pump. Sometimes the plastic top over the screen will have a fine crack or the plastic top will not apply even pressure over the gasket. Fuel will slowly leak all over. Had that happen to me on a 1976 Evinrude 9.9hp that I bought for $40 bucks. After I cleaned and set the points, cleaned the carburetor, replaced the impeller and replaced the cracked fuel pump top, it ran great.

    Don’t get me wrong the guys have given really good ideas, I am not disputing them. I thought I would just throw out another what if.
