what does it mean if your boat runs and wants to die but if you pump the primer bulb it keeps running?

Assuming you hvae no leaks in the fuel line between the fuel pump and the fuel supply.................

It means that the fuel pump is not functioning properly.

And if that is the issue, and depending on model, the pump can be rebuilt. The kit for my pump was around $25.
