I have a 1968 mercury 650 65HP outboard. We use it mostly for skiing. Most of the time it runs well with some problens starting. But now we are having problems with acceleration. When we get throttle up fast it gets about half throttle and then just goes back down and dies. I am pretty much a novice at working on outboards and dont really know much. Just wondering if anyone couls suggest anything or tell me what i am doing wrong. THANK YOU FOR ANY REPLYS

Re: Fuel Pump Problem????

Try pumping the bulb while running if that helps rebuild the fuel pump, Next step is cleaning the carbs.
