This is your new thread after moving it out of an 11 year old, inactive thread.

How long will it run after pumping up the priming bulb and starting? Try pumping up the primer bulb and holding pressure on it, to see if any of the fittings are leaking fuel, if fuel leaks out, air will leak in. Air pulled into a fitting will run the outboard out of fuel, may need to replace a fitting.

What's the outboard serial number, year, and/or manufacturer. Gamefishers were built by several manufacturers...

If the motor has an on/off fuel vaive then double check it for a plugged fuel filter screen inside it.....I just replaced my old troublesome fuel petcock with a small chain-saw type plastic unit and a small in - line fuel filter....

Pull off the carb and check the fuel bladder located inside the mounting surface. It should be a reddish pink color. See if in tack and re-insert it the same position as it was removed.
