I have a 2004 Mercury 50 hp (ot811232) that runs great when running past 1000 rpm but anything below that it looses fuel prime, the ball goes soft, I have rebuilt carburetors, rebuilt fuel pump, changed primer ball, did away with quick connect fuel coupling, increased vacuum hoses size to 1/4. Checked ports for vacuum. While going slow it will start to run out of gas, you can pump primer ball and it will continue to run. If running over 1000 rpm it will run all day and never lose prime. I have been tempted to install a low pressure fuel pump in between the tank and primer ball that would keep the ball fuel at all times but don’t want to cause a flooding issue. Any ideas??
