No acceleration I have a 75 horse power evinrude outboard starts and runs great out of the water idles and goes up throttle like a champ on the hose but as soon as I get in the water it falls on its face I have to pump the choke to get it to run good.It will only run good for a couple minutes then it falls again hit the choke and it runs great again for a couple minutes and continues this way.I thought if I ran it a while it would line itself out but it hasn't.any help would be appreciated thanks

I'd be checking fuel flow. Usually if you have to choke or squeeze a primer bulb to keep it going, the motor isn't getting enough fuel. Check all fuel lines and connections are air tight, then if problem persists, investigate fuel pump.
A good carburettor cleanout and new carb overhaul kit wont hurt either.
