So I'm riding at the lake this past Saturday having a good time. I drove it for about an hour or two then all of a sudden the motor just shuts off and won't run unless I pump the bubble and keep the motor tilted really high. Now the motor will run as long as I pump the primer bubble. As soon as I stop pumping the primer bubble, the motor soon stops too. I tried changing the internals of the fuel pump but still having the same issue. I can tell the the motor is not pumping gas from the tank because the fuel filter goes dry sometimes if it even drinks that much gas before it decides to stop. I tried installing a new primer bubble and hose. I have also tried using a different gas tank, trying three different tanks. The motor is a 1998 Johnson Evinrude 115 hp. It is premix. Thanks.
