I have a 25 HP merc, around 1990ish. We were having trouble with the gas line losing prime during operation. Since then we have put on a new gas line and fittings as well as a new tank. The engine runs much better now; however, when running at WOT, it still loses fuel supply. It will run at high speed for 30 seconds or so, but then will die. Sometimes, I can save it by squeezing the prime ball before it dies. Does this sound like a carb issue? The fuel lines in the motor as well as the fuel filter all seem to be in good condition and sealed well.

I didn't know there was a fuel pump on that motor. As I follow the gas line, it comes into the motor, up into the fuel filter and then into the car. Is the fuel filter in the carb or hidden by the carb?
