Ok I rebuilt my carbs, changed ALL gas lines from carbs to tank, primer bulb, and fuel filter. When the boat gets up on plane I can run for about 30 seconds before it starts sputtering. I hit the choke and it clears up. I know that the choke puts gas strait to the carbs which would make me believe that it’s a fuel pump issue (or lack of fuel getting to the carbs). Also a buddy pumped the bulb while on plane and kept it running (man it ran good). The pump is 2 years old (back when they were $200). Since they are $400 now. I want to be sure it’s the fuel pump. I tested it Thursday, after I put new lines on it, and when I was priming my bulb, the bulb collapsed. That tells me that I may have a stopped up line on the tank side. Question is how do I check the line inside the tank and is there anything else I can check if that doesn’t work, before I order a fuel pump?
