If the bulb goes soft after you run it for a bit, then you may have an air leak in the gas line/bulb, check all the connections and make sure their are tight. Can try a can of seafoam in the gas, if the carbs are a just a little dirty, seafoam can clean this up, if they are really dirty, well, its best to do a rebuild on 'em. The fuel filter may be clogged as well, if it has one. When was the last time you had it serviced or did any maint on it. Post up the yr/make and size of the motor and maybe someone can point you in the right direction.
Thanks for the info.. I just bought this boat around April, I was running good until now. It is a 97 mercury 115 hp, I already but some seafoam in my tank already, n it started doing after I but in the seafoam
