I have an 1994 200 hp Mariner with carbs, motor doesn't suck gas at an idle enough to keep from dying. I put in a new squeeze bulb, then tried putting the hose in a gas can to eliminate a clogged fuel pick up in the tank being the problem and it still dies. Is there some way to detrmine if there is enough suction pressure?

Re: Fuel Pressure?

Does the motor keep running if you squeeze the bulb?

Time to rebuild the fuel pump.
Easy to do and the parts are cheap.

A fuel pump diaphragm kit is about 18 dollars from any Merc dealer.
