1999 60 hp Mercury fuel problem

[hunte567]

I have a 99 60 hp Mercury I need some help with. I prime the bulb and start the motor and it runs fine for few minutes and then dies unless I reprime the bulb. Thanks for any help. Neil

Fuel pump diaphragm or leaking fuel line. The run time may just be what fuel you primed into the bowl before you started the engine. With an engine that age, time to do it. I had it happen in 10 years with internal fuel lines coming apart on a 2002 90.

I dont see any fuel leaking so I'll give the fuel pump a rebuild. Thanks for the help
