After cleaning the tank and changing fuel/water filter it was time to move on to the carb (rochester 2bbl). It was pretty well toast so I put a rebuild on. The boat seems to run pretty good but if I run at idle,below 1000rpm in gear, for a few minutes the engine dies. It seems no fuel is getting to the carb. If I squeeze the inline primer bulb it is soft but then the engine starts & runs fine. About the only thing I haven't changed is the fuel pump."
