Hey Step - I’m not an outboard guy, but I do have a lot of stuff with carburetors. To check if that guy’s needle comment MIGHT be correct (could also be a plugged passage or jet in the carb), and you can drop the float bowl, if there’s gas in the bowl, you’re probably getting gas to the carb(s).

That would be after checking the fuel line like Phat said and being sure you’re getting good fuel flow past the filter. For that, I’d test it by pulling the fuel line off the gas tank and motor and putting some air pressure in the tank end to see if the flow is good. Pretty gentle pressure should send a good flow.

My $.02 worth.
