Have you removed the filters and checked them for water yet? Water can cause what you describe in there as water is to large of a molecule to pass through the element. Check your filters first. Also, was your primer bulb sucking together when this was happening?

The racor filter has the clear bowl and there is no water in it. The boat has a new fuel tank this season so the gas is all pretty fresh (unless it came from the pump with water). The primer bulb looked normal. I found it peculiar that it ran fine both days on the way home after drifting with the motor not running for a while.

Was the primer bulb nice and firm during the issue? Have a buddy squeeze the bulb while the problem is occurring to see if it clears it up.

Its entirely possible that the primer bulb ITSELF could be the problem. Check it real good for signs of dry rot (like cracks).

When I changed the fuel tank in the offseason, I installed all new lines and a new primer bulb. Unless the bulb is faulty.....

The first few times out this season I noticed a very slight hesitation a couple of times but it only lasted an instance and then it was fine so I blew it off.

I had the same problem with my old Evinrude, it was the Ball and I had to get 3 before I got a good one, then it started again and one of the power packs let go.

But go with replacing the filter, they get clogged easy with this new gas cleaning the tank and the Racor being 10 mm.
Make sure the vent is clear.

were the hose that you replaced for the new gas??
