Hello i have a 16ft grew with a 650 merc blue band outboard. It runs but not well in forward. In reverse the motor seems to run better if it makes sense. When i put it all the way forward it bougs out and wants to stall intill i move the lever closer to N position. i have change the plugs and still had no luck. Anyone with help would be great thanks
 
if my primmor bulb doesn't get hard is that a problem? feels like i could pump it for ever and when it is running there is a lot of gas around the motor in the water. thanks
 
Yep, that's a problem. As vane said, carbs need a rebuild. Make sure to replace the inlet needle/seat assembly.
