Howdy.

Welcome to iboats.

There is a restriction in the fuel system before the bulb, Travis.

Check Tank venting, pickup and antisiphon valve.

fuel gets to carbs. i take out drain plug and gas flows out. I disconnect primer bulb hose and squeeze bulb and depress the end where fuel comes out, and fuel squirts out.

Hook up a remote fuel tank (a 6 gal outboard tank is perfect) and hook it to your engine and do a test run and see if the problem is still there.
