I have a 1997 Tracker (2 Stroke) made by mercury marine. It has been sitting for about 4 years, Have started it a couple times each year. last year i started it and it has developed a cough took it out on the water and when i gave gas to go, it would stall, Thats the recent history. What i have done recently is dissasembled carb, cleaned it and replaced the gaskets and diaphrams. Replaced All fuel lines and the bulb, and cleaned the inside of the fuel tank. Now is starts fine (does seem to run alot better) however it seems like the carburator bowl will run out of gas and the engine quits, I can give the bulb a couple pumps just before it quits and the engine will continue to run. Wondering if it could be a vacuum issue not drawing the fuel into the carb and thinking the engine is using the fuel faster then the fuel is being replaced.
