Your engine should be sealed enough to prevent this..unless you have the engine mounted so low it idles under water...???.. There is a seal that goes between the lower cowl pieces and the engine, a seal around the engine cover(cowl)...and seals that surround all wires and cables.

SOURCE: fuel not getting from fuel tank to carb
I hate too tell you this But, It IS The Fuel Pump if you can Start it By pouring Fuel into the Bowl. Please Rate my response, I need all the help that I can get! Thanks!
SOURCE: Engine starts but immediately quits.
Check the float or needle and seat valve inside the carb. One of those is probably stuck. If its a vacu-jet carb then check the diaphram on the side of the carb. It would be a small plate held on by 2 to 4 small screws. A stiff Diaphram means that it wount pump fuel.

I would readjust your idle mixture screw with engine in gear and on the water at an idle. That is a common problem after rebuilding carbs. It will run diferently under a load in the water. Just tie up to the dock and adjust them there.
SOURCE: trying to put new fuel lines in all around...
Fuel routing:
Tank to carb (filter on free end in tank, replace annually)
Carb to primer (primer sucks fuel through carb)
Primer to tank (primer returns excess fuel to tank) HTH

may be dirt in the tank, or the feed pipe is deteriorated, clean the carb & float needle again and renew feed pipe and fit an in-line filter, ( will only cost a few pounds) it you still have the same problem then it's pretty sure to be the float needle & seat
