Well after a few weeks of sitting in my garage I took the family out on the lake on Mother's day. This was my old lady's idea. I was in shock. I rarely use my boat because my buddy I fish with has a bigger boat and it keeps wear off mine. I put it in and idled around until they made it to the dock for pick up. Idled out of the no wake zone and put her up on plain and rode a couple of miles. Pulled into another no wake zone and after a minute or so the motor dies. My first thought was to check the bulb. It was mushy. Pumped it up firm again and motor fired right up. All day it was a on going process. Got it home and started checking my fuel hose, connects, and tank to see if maybe the line was sucking air. Unhooked the fuel hose from the motor side and the fuel connect was hissing when I pumped the bulb. I had a extra so I replaced it and assumed that's where the problem was. Took it out last night and put in. Left it idling while I parked the truck. Did great idling and WOT. Then when I went to idle out of the pocket it started doing it again. Idle fine until the bulb would turn soft and I'd pu.p it up and it'd do fine until the bulb goes soft again. Brought it home and started checking stuff out again. It died the first time on muffs and after a few min of checking connects, ect. I started it back up and it idled fine. No cutting out and didn't die. I'm stumped. Any and all advice or criticism is appreciated.
