1993 Johnson 50 HP Outboard. Cannot get it to stay running. It starts and will run as long as you are constantly squeezing the primer ball. Once you stop the engine stalls.

Replaced the gas tank and gas line.

Any suggestions what to try next?

Squeezing the primer bulb, you are acting as a manual fuel pump. This indicates that the fuel pump is not functioning.
