I have a 2008 Mercury Optimax 90 hp. I started it yesterday and it had been running about 5 minutes and died slowly like it ran out of gas. I disconnected the fuel line and pumped the primer bulb and got plenty of gas. I pumped some in a clear glass and saw no water settle out. I have spark at the plugs. Any help on troubleshooting is appreciated.

What's your serial number?

Need to check your fuel pressure at the shrader valve
