    Default Johnson outboard bogs down

    Got an old 89 60 hp Johnson vro that runs great for 4 or 5 trips and then out of no where bogs down like it's not getting gas if I give it throttle. Took me an hour and a half to get from Cedar point area to East harbor. I thought it might have been the fuel pump but put a new one in and it did the same thing. The oil sender was removed years ago so I pre mix the gas. Tried turning it off and priming the engine but bulb was soft and won't prime not sure if that's normal. Wake up the next day and bulb is hard and it will run like a charm 4 or more trips. Can't figure it out. Anybody got any thoughts besides buying a new boat. Just don't have the cash flow.
