Default Acceleration on a mercruiser 170 hp

I have tries almost everything I can think of.....I have a 1986 cobia that has a 170 hp mercruiser and it is loosing power due to starvation of fuel. I had to boat out yesterday and it will only accelorate for about 3 min ( or till the gas runs out or the bowl ) it seems. I can spray gas into the carb with a spraybottle and it will stay running. The only thing i have not replaced is all new gas lines and the fuel pump . I have drained the old gas put fresh in, put new plugs cap and rotor in, changed water filter, chnged the fuel filter in fuel pump...Has anyone else had this problem??????
