Hello all. took apart carburetor on a non running boat that had been sitting for two years cleaned replaced gaskets running on a separate tank that has a primer ball attaching at the fuel pump and filter assembly the engine will start and run well for approximately 30 seconds to 1 minute and then die. If I pump the primer ball on the tank it will continue to run. any input would be helpful. THanks in advance

Are you plumbing the line in before the fuel pump on the boat?

Fuel pump is either unable to overcome primer bulb or just plane bad. try running a plain piece of line into the tank from the intake line of the pump. possible fuel pump is bad.
