86 johnson cutting out

[timmee73]

I ran my boat last week after it had sat up about two months. I put the fuel stabilizer in it. when I put it in the water it ran fine for about ten minutes and then it just sputtered out while I was running wide open. I choked it and it cranked right up, then ran for about 15 min. I fished a little while and started to leave. I ran about 5 min. and it satrted dying again so, I had to run it with the choke on. If I let it off it would die. Any sugg.
Thanks for any help

Running with some choke but not without is a pretty sure sign that the carb is in need of cleaning.

Well you are running out of gas, one way or the other as described above.

Did the primer bulb go flat? If it did, the problem is either in the bulb or between the bulb and the gasoline supply.

If it did not go flat, the problem is between the bulb and the intake manifold.
