ENGINE RUNS GREAT AT HIGH SPEE

ENGINE RUNS GREAT AT HIGH SPEED BUT FUEL BULB GETS SOFT AFTER IDELING TWO OR THREE MINUTES AND ENGINE DIES.BOUGHT NEW IN 1998. HAS BEEN A PROBLEM SINCE DAY ONE. FUEL BULB AND FUEL PUMP REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY. IT SEEMS TO IDEL BETTER WHEN THE TANK IS FULL. PLEASE HELP! ITS A 75 HP ENGINE ON ORIGINAL PROCRAFT BOAT.
 
Sounds like its pulling air. H

Sounds like its pulling air. Have you tried another tank? An internal leak in tank?
Is the tank sitting too low for the pump to draw from at idle? Try elevating a portable tank.
 
WHAT IS THE PROCEDURE FOR REPL

WHAT IS THE PROCEDURE FOR REPLACING THE GAS TUBE INSIDE MY TANK? ITS A BUILT IN TANK. I TOOK THE FLEXIBLE GAS LINE LOOSE AT THE TANK AND UNSCREWED THE ELBOW FROM THE TANK FITTING. I THEN PULLED THE TUBE UP ABOOUT 8 INCHS AND IT STOPPED COULD NOT GET IT OUT. LOOKS LIKE THE TANK FITTING HAS A NUT ON IT FROM THE INSIDE WHAT IS MY NEXT MOVE? AND WHERE COULD I FIND THE REPLACEMENT PARTS? BY THE WAY YOUR SUGGESTION ABOUT USING A PORTABLE TANK MADE THE BOAT IDLE AND RUN LIKE A DREAM. BEST EVER...THANKS.......
 
"Mike,
I can't tell you

"Mike,
I can't tell you the next step on your fuel tube removal as I don't know the assembly. I never had one apart. When you said "IT SEEMS TO IDEL BETTER WHEN THE TANK IS FULL." That was what was prompting my response.
Maybe Graham, JUST-IN-TIME, or Brian may have some info on this.
Try finding a manufacture name on your tank and post your question again in a new thread."
