HELP: mariner 28 hp, sparkplugs stay dry

Dear Friends,

I'm trying to fix an old 2-stroke mariner 28 Hp and I keep running
into the same problem.

I have cleaned the carburator about ten times but when I try to start
the sparkplugs stay dry even with full choke and full throttle! It's a
manual start so I'm starting to look like schwarzenegger!

I've checked these points:
The fuelpump squirts out fuel when trying to start.
When carburator is open I can blow through the nozzle (no
obstruction).
Tried sheet of paper in front of air-filter - sucks in air.
Plugs spark (nothing to do with the fuel though).

And now..... I don't know any more.

Maybe you have some good ideas.

Thanks

Eddy

OK, here's my thoughts.

You have spark but the plugs aren't wet. Try squirting a little fuel
into the carb, see if something happens, see if plugs are damp.

If no joy, remove flywheel and see if key is sheared. If all seems
fine, I'd still suspect the carb, unless your compression is
non-exisant.
