I have a yamaha 130hp 2stroke. Everything worked perfectly, then allowed to sit over the winter with non-ethinal gas. Now when taking it out it will jump right up and ride out for a few hundred yards then dies from no fuel. Primer bulb is empty. But will pump right back up and go again. But dies in the same manner. Changed primer bulb and filter on motor. Removed primer bulb and tried to siphon fuel through the fuel/water separator with no luck. Any ideas why I am loosing fuel would be helpful

if the primer bulb can suck and pushes fuel from the tank to the motor ,
but the fuel pump cannot, there has to be a problem with the pump or a connection between the primer bulb and motor
