I have a Mercury 50E Motor. When we first got the boat we couldn't get it to go into a high speed. We had the carburetor cleaned and when we got the boat it ran great for two runs. Then it started acting up again. We had a carburetor kit put on the boat and then it ran great for two more runs. While it is running in high it will just cut out. As I go to pump the ball, it seems that it has collapsed and there is no air in it. We changed all of the hoses, the ball, and changed the filter. We are still having issues...Any ideas??

It's almost got to be the tank vent if a new bulb collapes.
