Hello gents, today i had a terrible day out on the river salmon fishing. I got to the dock, fired up the motor and as usual for any 2 stroke I've owned it was a little finicky starting but she fired up, smokes a lot more than my last force 150 but i can only assume its due to the mixture. Boat idled for a good 5ish minutes so we pushed off and headed towards a section of the river. I roughly just putted along halfway across the channel then began to throttle in a little more when all of a sudden it started to slowly come down in rpm and died. I cranked it would fire up but like before continued to just die out and wouldn't run longer than a few seconds. I then realized that my prime bulb fuel line from the water separator had a fuel leak even though i tried to continuously pump it the motor would only run for a little and stop. Luckily a few hours later a gentleman was kind enough to tow us back to the dock, and headed straight for a store on our way home to buy a new prime bulb. When i got home i immediately swapped the prime bulb lowered the motor into a container filled it with water then primed a few times and a few cranks into it motor fires up. So i let it idle i put it into gear, i free rev it and it runs and runs and runs. Now heres the kicker, it did the same thing about a week ago before i took it out and the boat idled great and ran but had more trouble starting with the old prime bulb. I also feel that my water pump pee hole is potentially not a constant stream like other motors i have seen and the carbs are leaking 2stroke/gas mixture. I have attached a video hopefully you guys can advise on what else i need to do. I am unfortunately leaving for a business trip this week and won't have time to take it back out. Another issue that I'm not sure could be related but i definitely need to fix, when I filled the tank all the way up with fuel i had the boat drain not in and when the pump clicked all of a sudden gasoline came out of the drain..... Ive never seen this but I've also never owned a boat this old before......
