1996 mercury jet boat 120xl hard starting and interesting no power wide open throttle and it will just idle carbs wide open then all of a sudden sometimes I get a burst of power
 
Sounds like the carb jets are contaminated.
 
Carbs are all rebuilt clean but I did notice my primer bulb will not get hard I keep squeezing it i dont see any leaks in fuel line anywhere
 
I would suggest uploading a video to youtube of what it is doing and link to that video here.
