[QUOTE="ppine, post: 464381, member: 22555"] I had a motor like that on a sailboat once. It was a one pull motor. Sounds like the fuel system alright. Have you done all the obvious like a new fuel filter? Rebuilding the carb might be the answer. When I returned to the marina with that motor I always disconnected the fuel line and ran the motor dry which made a big difference. Very soon you are going to find the problem and really like this motor. Check the fittings on your fuel tank. They can wear out and cause the fuel line to suck air. [/QUOTE]
