Many years ago back in the days when I had a boat I ran into a similar problem. The manufacturer in his wisdom had placed the tank vent on the side of the boat facing forward. Salt water, spray gets in the vent, non stainless tank, it started shedding rust. Ultimate fix was rotating the vent to face backwards.
Engine was a 4 cyl Chevy with a Rochester 2 barrel in it and started having flooding and hard starting problems. Then suddenly it would only run at idle or a little off.
Answer was little globs of rust had migrated through the fuel pump and were holding the float valve partially open and choking off full fuel flow. A lot of effort to fix this. Including pulling, cleaning and and re-coating inside of tank, figuring out where water was getting in in the first place (one was NOT happy when I found that), but I also added an inline filter just ahead of the carb. That got changed out at the annual spring tuneup and cut open just to see. First year I still got some chunks out of the filter. After that it was smaller stuff but there always was some debris in there. Problem cleared up permanently after that.
Just a piece of personal experience along the lines of your problem.
