I have a I believe 1978 Chrysler skier 75 HP 2stroke outboard. Recently it started acting up. It was hard to start, when it did start it would idle but as soon as I went past half throttle it died. It left me stranded in the reeds at a lake. Got it home and cleaned all 3 carbs real good, replaced every fuel line on it, spark plugs, wires, fresh fuel and 50:1 mix, new bulb on the fuel line.... tested it at home and it ran great. Got it to the lake and it was hard to start. Finally started and it ran better than ever. Wot all the way across the lake. About a mile into it, it bogged and died. Now it will only run if I prime the carbs with fresh fuel. I squeeze the bulb with the line off the engine and fuel gets through just fine, all the way going into the engine. I'm stumped. Anyone have any suggestions? It's getting spark and plenty of air
