swapping the plugs. they were all black and sooty I also noticed that the clamp, around the hose on the in side of the filter was loose and the filter spun freely. the clamp at the inlet of the carb also looked lose as it was seeping slightly.
I changed the plugs, I have now changed both filters and tightened the hell out of the house clamps. these were the clamp s on there from Moyer. the filter doeses seem to have some restriction but, nothing major. I put the new one on before I blew through it.. The carb is a fresh rebuild as of a few weeks ago... I think it may have been a combination of the restricted vent along with the loose hose connections.

Could be the carburetor. I've had this issue too many times. I chose to take off the carb, break it down completely and clean it out. Moyer Marine's A4 guide is very useful.

I suppose it is possible but seems unlikely. The fuel pump ought to be able to overcome that. Can you drain the trap? I would drain or remove the trap and try it. Try a new P-trap designed for the purpose. Might want to check the operation of your fuel pump. I just put my boat in the water for the first time and had a similar issue. 5 minutes and then stall. Starts back up after a short wait but won’t run for longer than about five minutes. Sort of ran if fully choked. Turned out to be a broken electrical feed to my electric fuel pump. Hard to believe how long it ran without a fuel pump! I guess gravity and vacuum will do part of the job, even through two filters.

Okay so no wind today... I pulled up to the gas dock, topped off water and fuel, loaded up and away we went. Motor was running great! Fired up left dock, motored away. After about an hour she seemed to be running out of gas. Stutter ed and stalled. Five minutes later, after seeing sail, she started right back up. We sail back to our home mooring. I pull the filter on the sepertator, looked clean as the day I put it in. Then I thought, maybe the vent is plugged... well, it wasn't plugged but it is routed with a trap and that trap was filled with fuel. Would this have been enough to starve the engine?
