3) Another less direct test is to disconnect the fuel line from the boat tank and connect it to an auxiliary tank. If the engine runs fine, strong indication of crud in the fuel in the boat tank. This is a little tricky to do away from the dock.
Hope that helps.

If there's curd in the carb from dirty fuel from the boats tank supplying clean fuel might not help the engine run better.
The fuel pumps job is to supply gas the carburetor at the correct pressure. The carb takes over from there.
Let's quite guessing.
STEP1: Get clean fuel to the carb from an auxiliary tank at the correct pressure. Post the results. We'll go from there.

Sorry to be so direct.
