Im new here and was hoping to find some help with a long lasting problem. I have a 87 Evinrude 60hp VRO that starts and idles great. It also runs decent at very low speeds. When I get to about half throttle, the engine bogs out. It used to kick in every time I pushed in the choke, but that does not work anymore. Before last year, the boat had not been run for many years. My dad, who does a lot of motor work, rebuilt the carbs and replaced some of the old fuel lines. He gave me the boat and it ran great at first. After about 3-4 months, the problem I described started. I noticed the other day the primer bulb was not keeping pressure. After looking under engine cover, I found the fuel line from the fuel filter to the fuel pump was leaking badly. After fixing this line, the problem still exists. Any ideas??
