My 75 hp mercy used to lose prime at low speeds and was hard to start.
Found a gasket in the fuel pump had broken.
Starts almost immediately now and never loses prime. My local parts dealer said I couldn’t buy just the gaskets. Had to buy a kit for a little over $140.00.
Found the gaskets online for thirty some bucks and some minor shipping.
