    Evenrude 4.5 stalling out after running 5 min. at full throttle

    This year the bulb in the fuel line does not get firm while pumping it, yet the engine will start. After running for 3-5 minutes it stalls. The bulb is soft and requires a lot of squeezing then with the choke engaged, it will restart. I suspect the fuel pump......anyone help? ****
