Something similar happened on my older merc last year and it was that the bulb developed hair line cracks and lost pressure. I bought a new bulb but by the end of the season, the new one also had checking and lost pressure. I went to a merc dealer and got a new bulb and line. The parts guy said that many older bulbs were not engineered to handle the corrosive effect of ethanol. The latest bulb and line were made from some material that is supposed to be much more resistant to ethanol.
