i went to go fishing yesterday and ran into the following problem... the motor fired up on the first try and idled perfectly. after a few minutes of going 5mph it just quit as if it was starving for fuel. i primed the bulb again and it started right up again and idled perfect...a few more minutes of 5mph and it stalled again. i didn't get up to speed because there is a long 5mph zone and i just turned back after 3 stalls...i didn't want to get stuck out there. the primer bulb didn't colapse or anything but it wasn't really firm again untill i primed it. does this sound like a primer bulb problem or perhaps a fuel pump problem? thaks guys.
