Most time I have seen them is right on the tank with the fuel line attached to it.

The last one I saw was anti-siphon/hose bib all in one. When taken out there will be a ball in the middle of it.

Mine was on the top of my tank, right next to my fuel level float underneith an access panel in my floor. I doubt it is clogged but it is restrictive and your motor will start much easier without it.

Ok, Next Question. Is This Separate From The Pick Up Line Or Will I Need To Replace The Entire Piece?

Should just be a screw-on fitting

I just had this same issue a couple of weeks ago. Mine was a combination anti-siphon/ hose bib screwed into the 90 degree fitting on the tank. It looked fine when I took it out, but I replaced it with an Evinrude/ Johnson factory replacement part. It's a quality brass unit, and the opening in the hose bib was a bit larger than the old aluminum one that was on my tank. Needless to say my stalling problem went away.
