    I read your post a couple times and I think I understand the problem you are having…

    I have the exact motor and they are pretty reliable motors. I would first try replacing the entire gas line (w/bulb) from the tank to the motor.

    OK, now i get it. Yeah, I had an Atwood ball and line go out on me after one year on my old 25HP, bought it new. The valve in the ball just stopped working. It drove me crazy for months trying to track down why the stupid thing down. Bought an actual OMC one and it worked fine.
