Default 2001 50hp start/idle issues...

Hello, I have a 2001 50 hp 2 stroke 2 cylinder (737cc). The motor will start on a full charge and idle for 10 minutes or so, then stall. I think I'm losing fuel pressure, there is a small leak at the fuel fitting when i pump the bulb, but not when it runs. Once it stalls, it will only start for 10 seconds or so and stall again. After five or six tries, i lose the battery. I'm not sure if I have a fuel problem, or perhaps a charge problem causing it to loose spark? The fuel filter, fuel water separator, head gasket, thermostat, water pump, temp switch, plugs and wires are all new. Any help would be appreciated so we can get back on the water!
Thanks!

If you can pump primer bulb to keep running then have a air leak in fuel hoses or connections or bad fuel pump. Probably need to remove and clean carbs. Sounds like need a new battery or have bad battery cables or starter is going out.
