I have a 1985 Evinrude 120 on my 2001 Maycraft. The boat sat for about 4 years. I drainded all the old fuel, replaced all fuel lines and still have the problem with the motor. It will run fine for a 10 min then it acts like it is starving for fuel. It will continue to idle fine but wont trottle up without pumping the fuel ball. I talked to a retired boat mechanic and he said to check the anti siphon valve at the tank, that they go bad and cause these issues. Just wondering about you guys opinion on this matter.
 
Run with a seperate 6 gallon tank for a test.---That will tell you whether the problem is on the motor or with the built in tank on the boat.
