Yes I did 

Hi Steve , yes it would excellerate then start booging down , then stall , then it would start back up and do it again , what was happening is the paint or coating inside the pump wouls break up it tiny particles and the when it gets in the carb it would cowagulate and plug up the small jets and orffices , An easy way to see if this is happening is to take your fuel pump off it should have small screws around the casting that attaches the upper part of the pump to the lower part , it should be an indexable fuel pump , take a few pictures of it so you put it back together the same way , just in case it is not your pump , you will be able to tell if the painted coating is coming off ass soon as you open up the pump ., I tryed everything before I found out what the problem was . This happened 3 years ago and I haven't had a single fuel problem since I replaced the pump , I got the new pump from boats.net 

I had the same thing happen to me , found out that the problem was the fuel pump , The inside of the Mercruiser fuel pumps are painted or coated with something that is black in color , Which starts to come off and screw up the fuel system because of the crappy quality of gas we have these days , And it doesn't matter if you use Non Etheonal or Etheonal , I replaced the fuel pump om mine and that was the end of the problem , It's ran perfect ever since .
