Check that fuel VENT...the thru-hull fitting and the hose from there to the tank...a clogged one will flatten a bulb too...if there's no screen or design to keep insects out, they will build nests in them...can happen overnight...

Yeah checked that, it was calm so I just reached over & opened the fuel fill while I was running, no change.
After we were stopped for a bit (& the girls got out) I checked the bowl on the water separator, when I opened the drain valve air was sucked in. That puts the restriction between there & the tank. Hoses are new, filter is new. Is there any way to pull the pickup out or can you just look down it?

Unless its has a anti siphon valve installed use an air compressor remove the gas tank cap and blow it clean back into the tank? My pickup tube came out completely when I unscrewed the part shown in the pictures not sure why yours seem short? My pickup tube matches the depth of the tank with no screen on the end, hopefully this makes sense. I have a spare if you need it pay postage and its yours. I will have to go dig for it saw it :)

I had a clogged pick up screen on mine, was able to pull the pick up out and got rid of the screen altogether! Also there was a ball berrin in that fitting on top of tank i got rid of. That ball pump what did you get when you bought a new one?? I have had bad ones right out of the box!! just use name brand ones!

Macojoe - been there too, bought a mercury fuel line with bulb this time.
I'm pretty sure the vacuum goes past that (bubbles in the water separating bowl) Nymack, thanks for the pic, I'll pull mine tomorrow & see what's up. Pretty sure it has no screen as I poked that weedeater line in way past a foot. Only other thing is the water separating mount & filter. it was a mess this spring & I removed, cleaned, painted it & replaced the filter. May take that off again. Thanks for the help!
