had my boat sitting for a couple of months over the Christmas holidays, before hand it ran great, ultra reliable etc.. now I took it out the other day and as soon as I touched the throttle it would stall.

I brought it home pulled the carby out cleaned all the jets, cleaned up the plugs & checked the fuel lines and fuel tank valve.....it now starts and revs without dying but it seems its not pulling fuel as it starts dying about 30 seconds after starting and will begin to splutter but if I give the primer a quick squeeze it will fire back up and keep running for another 30 seconds

I'm starting to suspect the fuel pump? or is there something else I should check?

Fuel pump or air leak, check the fittings, and check the tank vent.
