motors quits

[astro2724]

Ok went out today the boat ran fine for 30 minutes.We stopped for a while to play.When we started again it quit when i went to go about half trottle or higher.It slowly stalls like there is no fuel.This is the second time this has happened on a trip.I did a seafoam treatment and that was no help.It does run smoother though.I ran it at about 2000 rpm and it seems fine we went for about 5 miles like that.But as soon as I went to goose it again it cut slowly cut out.The bulb is about half full when this happens not hard(should it be)it is not collapse though'just soft.If I choke it there is no difference either as it starts to die.85 1.6 omc seadrive.Carbs where rebuilt in 2002.any help would be great.

Re: motors quits

Astro....check the primer bulb for any valves that may have fallen apart and make sure the fuel tank is venting.<br /><br />Take a look at any fuel lines that may need replaced because they are hard and have lost their grip at connection points.<br /><br />Next time it starts to die, pump the primer bulb and see if it picks back up. This could mean the fuel pump is failing.<br /><br />Keep us posted....thanks.
