Where did you buy your fuel? Are you burning new fuel with 15% ethanol? If you are, I would guess that's your problem.

Can't be to much, Have you been using the boat, or is the start of a new season?

Working from the Tank forward,

Vents clear? Bugs like o make nest in there and screw things up.

Is the pick up cloged in the tank?, Can use air to blow in line to see if you can blow it out.

Top of tank were line goes in there is a small ball, anti spill thing. I had to remove mine was all cloged and corroded.

Fuel line clamped well?

Fuel filter pluged?

Ball cracked, or hole in it?

Little O ring on fuel connector to motor?

Fuel filter on the motor end?

Carbs need decard?

Are you still using Fule??

If so Stop!!

And try Fuel it will work much better!! ;D

When my 150 anchor, I mean mercury did that the first time it was ignition related, the second time it did it it was the fuel pump. A rebuild kit fixed it . Do as MJ said review the system and if you cant find anything run it on a small tank next time out and you can eliminate the system if it runs bad again and focus on the motor..
