Merc 125 stalling.

Ok Guys, need some help here. My 2002 Merc 125 hp/ carb/2 stroke has been stalling lately at slow idle, like when docking. This offseason I had a Racor Fuel/Water Sep. installed in preperation for E-10 gas. I was told to change the filter at 100 hrs, it hasn't even been 50 yet. So, Does this sound E-10 related ? I plan on pulling the filter tommorow. Do I just empty it into a glass bottle ? How much water is too much ?? Is replacing the filter as easy as screwing on another ? DO I need to prime it ?

Based on my brief description anyone have any other ideas. It will start up again after stalling, but may stall again 5 minutes later if the rpm's get below 1000. Thanks alot guys, I am trying to keep her out of the shop $$$$.
