I have a 30 hp 1956 Johnson outboard motor that I can get started but it will not stay running and backfires when it dies. What could possibly be wrong. Last summer I thought it had got some trash behind the needle valve. I remove the carburator and cleaned it. I have been unable to keep it running since. Your help would be gretaly appreciated. Les
