motor dieing out

[cathunter21]

i went fishing last night and my motor ran fine and then i went this morning and it also ran perfect untill i went to trailer it and it would die at idle and then got to where it wouldnt start unless i pumped the bulb. i have no clue what the problem is? :|

With the info provided my thought would be fuel pump.Pumping primer bulb to keep motor running is usually the fuel pump as long as there is no leaks in the system.

Could it be the ball as well?
Or fittings,pin holes in fuel lines,tank.

I only say because sometimes(completly random)I have to squeeze the primer ball on my fuel line,to stop from stalling.Might go the rest of the day without having to do it again,might not:/.
I replaced the fuel pump,not the lines or ball or tank...think I might try the ball and line next.

thanks for the replies. is there any chance i could have just a plugged fuel filter or something like that?

Depends on what kind of motor.Some have a automotive type filter & others have just a screen.Just don't let any stones be unturned when it comes to fuel problems.
