took the boat out today (1974 Johnson 9.9, just purchased recently), started up pretty good and shortly after getting down the river it died out and I could only get it to fire after repriming the fuel bulb but never got it to stay running. I can hear air getting pushed out somewhere under the engine cover when I prime the fuel bulb but can't locate exactly where its coming from. Anybody have this problem before or know where to start?
 
I will have to take the cover off and prime it today, I only took cover off briefly while on the water yesterday and couldn't see anything.
