Repirts, AKA Christian's Dad

I'm having trouble with the 175 merc stalling. When I go from slow to accelerate, it will sometimes dies. Changed the plugs and that improved things alot but not completely. At the same time changed the water separator filter and replaced a leaking priming bulb but the new one takes forever to fill and seems to be pumping alot of air. Maybe I just answered my own question. I'll check for a loose connection that is s#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&g air.

Tomorrow night I'll:

1) Check for air leaks in fuel lines.
2) Decarb and clean carbs
3) Replace the New bulb.
4) Replace the on engine fuel filter

Can anyone think of anything I'm missing.

Thanks
