bought this pontoon new in 2018. lately it has been stalling about every 100 yards. if I run slow RPMs, it takes longer to stall but pretty much same distance if I power up to near full throttle. still stalls. if I use the primer bulb and give it a couple squeezes, the boat will run fine until the next time it stalls.
I checked and replaced the fuel filter. it had a bit of sand/dirt. I am thinking this is a venting problem though. I'm totally unfamiliar with the hose routing and could use some pointers as to where/what to check. I've attached a pic below. the green line goes through the primer bulb and on to the motor. the red line goes back under the boat. as the boat has metal plating underneath, I can't really see where it goes.
could someone suggest how I can troubleshoot this further and get it fixed?
thanks in advance!!!
