Help needed

[alberatzi]

Hey everyone! I have a a problem I'm hoping y'all can shed some light on. I have an 87 Ranger 360V with a Mercury Black Max 175 2-stroke on back. She won't start or idle, but she was running before I took her in to have new steering & throttle cables installed. What am I missing? The carbs were purged, the engine has a new fuel filter & the fuel pump screen is clean. The boat has new primer bulb & hoses, along with a fresh on-board filter. She also has several new vacuum lines & new plugs, all of which are throwing spark. Considering I gave $1247.74 to have all the new gear installed, I don't feel like having to cough up more money to have her running again. Wisdom & guidance are deeply appreciated; thank you in advance for all of y'all's help!
