Hello all, first post. I have a 1992 four winns with an omc 5.0 cobra. I am having a stalling issue. I have replaced the carb, coil, plugs, wires, fuel pump distributor cap. Boat is idling perfect, temp, oil volts all good. Going threw a channel boat is running good. Coming out of the hole slight bog, I'll figure that out after the bigger issue... It'll stall. And when it stalls it will not start back up again. I thought ok, ignition. But it fires right back up with starting fluid. It is not a sputtering stall, but rather an immediate shut off. I am running out of ideas, and hoping I can pick someone's brain here. Thank you to anyone who has some information or ideas.

Not the best to use but that is showing lack of fuel.
Test with a remote tank first. If its now ok you have a fuel delivery issue. the anti-syphon may be causing this or you have a screen INSIDE the fuel pickup tube. Unscrew the pickup tube, unscrew the tube from the fitting, remove screen , clean tube, reinstall1658414378987.jpeg
