Problem started after the fuel line shrunk over time and became kinked on a 90 degree bend from under the gunnel to the motor. The primer ball became concave from the intense suction from the motor tring to get fuel. After I replaced the fuel line with proper length, the motor wont run. It took forever to get a prime into the new fuel line, and the motor did start up, but on sea trials it bogged down right away and now barely idles. It stalls on throttle up. occasional she will throttle up to 1400 for about 30 seconds then dies. I checked fuel pump. diaphrams look good. Fuel is passing filters when I squeeze bulb. Rail shows fuel when I press in purge valve. What Next? I get no alarms or beeps. Thanks in advance ! I know this one is a challenge. Also, it idles better with tilt all the way down. When tilted up to level or passed that it stalls right away.
