I have a 09 honda 75hp 4strk about two weeks ago I started having problems with my outboard surging at WOT. I have changed external fuel filter, all external hoses and still have the same problem. I have replaced all internal filters.
(1. if I connect fuel tank straight to engine problem goes away. tank-hose-bulb-hose-engine)
(2. if new external fuel filter is added to (1.) problem comes back)
This only happens at WOT. When this is happening if I pump the bulb up about 10 times it becomes hard and the problem goes away.
However, in about 10 minutes are so, it happens again. I repeat the process of pumping the bulb up and it goes away for about 10 more minutes. Note this only happens during WOT. all other times runs find. :confused:

Check the fuel pump vacuum capability. Might be time for a new pump or diaphragm.

Also check the fuel tank that this is happening with for a proper vent. Sounds like the vent could be obstructed some and it takes a while for it to stop keeping up with the engine's demand at WOT... Also check that tank for trash in the pickup tube as well... You already located your problem to one tank, so follow up and find the reason...
