Suzuki DT 30hp Approximate year 1987 quits

[Dude]

The engine runs fine but after running around with 3 guys onboard it just dies. I punp the bulb and it starts up and will run great until it dies again after motoring in the bay for 10 or 20 minutes. Any suggestions?

Ventilation at the tank, or time for carb rebuild ........

20 minutes suggests pulling air somewhere in the system, regardless of the # of people in the boat. First, I'd re-check the fuel line; then back off the fuel pump from the block maybe 1/4", squeeze the primer bulb and see if gas shoots out the back of the pump. If it doers, time for a fuel pump diaphragm replacement.
