Help with ox66 fuel/starting problem

[kensafishin]

I replaced my water separator,fuel bulb...The first time I went out everything ran fine,runnning from one spot to another...Then after fishing for a while I tried to start the motor,it started and then died.I restarted and died,then treid to start and acted like it the battery was going out but its a year old battery and checked fine..It did start but I had to rev it up and ran fine afterwards....It did the same thing yesterday once this was after fishing for 4 hours and running from one spot to another and did it again..I pumped the bulb and when it started sounded like it was flooded a little...The bulb wasnt hard but never really was even before I replaced it...The motor is a 99' 225 vmax ox66...Do you think it may be the fuel pumps because its been 3 years since I replaced them but dont smell any gas or see any gas leaking from them.

Anyone?

Seems the normal culprit is the fuel pump diaphrams...that's where I'd start.

Ok thats the first thing I will replace...I have had to adjust the tps a few times but this is even before it gets running enough for it to be that..

Did the pumps fix it? I have the same motor, had similar problems and the pumps were the villians......

I havent replaced them yet.
