my problem is the motor is running roughand it dies sometimes. i change the sparke plugs and the fuel bulb. one day i could go out and it will run all day and today i made it out of the channel and it died and wouldnt start and i had to prime it with the key and fast idle it 3 or 4 times befor it would stay running , but when it does run good the motor shakes hard and sputters. should the fuel bulb be hard or soft when the motor is running , because it is soft , plus where is the fuel filter? i see i white 1.5 cylinder with a inlet and outlet is that the filter any advice would help
thank u

Thats the fuel filter but in pumping the bulb it tells you that the fuel pump is bad, the sputtering could be carb adjustment or they may need to be cleaned.
