This is exactly the problem my 6hp Johnson was having. Took it to place in out in Mt. Washington for service since I couldn't figure out what was wrong (woah pricey). After he went through it from top to bottom and had called me back in, he showed me the old fuel line and split it open longways with a blade. Man, the inside of the hose was just peeling apart and flushing through the system. I did not have a fuel filter in line (I do now). I'll never let that happen again, ever.
