[black][size 3]I'm no boat or motor machanic, but I did experience your problem with one of my outboards a while ago. [/size][/black]

[size 3]The problems sound exactly like mine, as long as I kept pumping the fuel bulb, and kept it "hard", the motor ran fine. [/size]

[size 3]I replaced the fuel line, from the tank to the motor, including the connection at the end of the line. This fixed my problem. I figured that it must have been allowing air into the fuel system.[/size]

[size 3]this was the first thing that I thought that I would try, before going into any mechanical tear down (I have 10 mechanical thumbs).[/size]

[size 3]You might want to give it a try, the cost is nominal, and it may work.[/size]
