Hi All,I have a Merc 25xd ('85ish).I had a problem with the carb float (full of gas ) Got me stuck (flooding engine) so I put a new one in.Now there is no full throttle power and engine boggs out and dies.Through info on these forums and trial and error I discovered that when it boggs out if I pump primer bulb it resumes speed.Obviously it is running out of gas,I set float properly have new fuel tanks and hose (I strongly suspect the 15 buc walmart hose I bought may be defective).The carb was recently rebuilt and a new fuel pump
diaphragm installed.All ignition test check out within specs.I guess my question is maybe air leak or primer bulb is defective ?
Any and all coments welcomed .Thanks Jim

If your confident with the carb work then I think your on the right track.
