At the end of our day today while cruising around our lake the motor suddenly would loose power, like it was not getting gas. When it did if I would immediately cut the throttle and it would idle fine.(it only died once and started right back up)
If I gave it throttle again it would not take it unless I pumped up the primer bulb.(it would go soft) Then it would take throttle again for a few seconds to a minute and then start to die again. I was able to limp back to the slip at 2500 rpm or less without any problems.
I replaced all fuel lines and primer bulb this spring because the squirrels have eaten completely thru the fuel line.(I bought a Quicksilver replacements because of previous problems with Walmart crap primer bulbs) It ran great the first 3 trips out this season.
I am not the greatest with carbs, but I have rebuilt a few in years past.(2 stroke and 4 stroke)
I am thinking it's the fuel pump/diaphragm, any body have any other ideas I should check?
Motor is a 2003 2 stroke Mercury 25hp. (SeaPro) Serial # 0T676***.
