Does it run out of fuel, loose spark?
When it quits does it shut down quickly like you turned off the key, or slowly like you are running out of gas?

If you pump the primer bulb will it start right back up? Maybe a fuel pump problem. Are you running on an inboard tank or a portable 6 gal tank?

Re: What Make & Year & Horsepower

should i look at the primer and the fuel pump i'm going to rebuild fuel pump but can someone explain what happens when you prime at the begining run the boat for a bit what should the primer be doing during running time and when you stop the motor also does the primer stop the fuel from going back to tank my problem is when boat runs for a bit it stalls like running out of gas and the primer ball is mushy i'm running from a 6gal tank
