Lets start over.My problem was this. Needed to keep priming the motor with the primer bulb to keep it going, at idle every 5 min one squeeze with the bulb.As I increased throttle it would need prime more frequently.Every 5 sec at (WOT).Carb is clean and the float isnt stuck.The kicker is with an elevated gas tank the motor runs great.No priming needed.Whats up? is it the bulb or could I still be looking at a fuel pump?The motor is a 1985 mercury xd 18hp.
