Everywhere is going to be backed up at least a few weeks this time of year... I would run some gumout through the carb and maybe some seafoam in some premium gas. If you are a bit more mechanically incline, it's pretty easy to rebuild carbs/fuel pumps.

First thing I would do is clean the carb and run ethanol free gas through it, 4 strokes hate to sit dormant with the ethanol crap in the carb. You will find a list of local gas stations who sell ethanol free gas in the Boats and Motors section of the forum.

You will find youtube videos that walk you through cleaning the carb with great detail.

Most Chevron stations have a separate pump out back that is ethanol free. Costs about a quarter more per gallon, but that's all I run through my boat motors!

+1 on the ethanol free gas. I have noticed that a lot of the newer Maverik locations are now carrying it (or at least the new one in Logan does)

Holy cow, there are 4 locations in Logan that carry it, you are lucky. I don't even winterize our lawnmower or boat fuel since I made the switch about 4 years ago and starts first try every spring.

If trying some carb cleaner and running some Seafoam through the motor doesn't help, any local boat repair shop will be able to do a carb rebuild for you.
Call around to see who has the fastest turn around time.
If you want the best, take a trip up to Hyrum and drop the motor off at Lee's Marine.

Plus you get more power/ mileage on pure gas.
Pure gas has more btu's per gallon than a gallon of 10% ethanol blend.
Too bad it costs more........
