I had that unexplainable dying problem with a friend’s 8 Mariner. On that one it was the connector on the motor-end of the gasline. The small metal part that clicks into the groove on the pointed anchor pin on the motor needed bending inward slightly so the fuel line connector was anchored slightly farther onto the motor. Sounds too simple but it worked! Of course, you can try just replacing the whole connector instead. This may not be your problem, but it’s an easy fix to try.
