    Sounds like a fuel problem. Start at the beginning check compression on all cylinders, then check spark on all cylinders. If you have compression and spark you know it's fuel problem. Check fuel lines for a fuel leak and check primer bulb to make sure your fuel line is holding pressure. If that's good most likely looking at a carb rebuild possibly a fuel pump. Someone might be able to give you some better info but it's a place to start.

    Mine (2000 Mercury 150) acted similar to yours and it ended up just being a fuel filter stopped up. Checking it is quick and easy.
