Re: Bad Fuel Pump??
I had an '88 Johnson 225 Looper that did just what you describe. After replacing the VRO pump, rebuilding all the carburetors twice, and replacing all the fuel lines, we discovered I had a bad stator. I replaced the stator and it ran great afterwards. The problem I had was uneven voltage and current to the powerpack. But I spent over $900 on the fuel system, before a friend came over and we tested the electical system. Fortunately, I kept all my old parts.

Re: Bad Fuel Pump??
Thanks for the advise guys!! Good stuff. I think it could be fuel related or ignition related, or maybe a combination of both.
So, to eliminate some of the fuel concerns, I'm going to replace both fuel pumps and the fuel filter. They aren't expensive ($50/ea for fuel pumps & $10 for the filter). They probably need replacing anyway, as they are 20 years old. Then we will see where I am, hopefully fix the problem. But if not, at least a few items have been eliminated. Then it will be on to ignition issues.
