i think i may of found my issue. a fuel pump screw fall out and the fuel pump was really loose, theres 3 holes into the head for the pump, 2 to attach and the other goes into the head but the fuel pump blocks it off. with the fuel pump hanging the engine lost half its back pressure causing my motor to bog down so bad. also exaust came from the hole so i figure it got trapped in the top cutting fresh air flow making things even worse and thats y i struggled to keep it running on the water.

check the screen in your fuel pick-up in your tank. could be clogged from age.

Quickest way to find out,is to take off the Bonnet,take off the Air-Filter,and run it.......when the problem shows itself,spray a bit of Carb Cleaner into the Air-Intake..........If it smoothes it out,it`s running Lean.......If it makes it worse,then it`s too Rich ;)

My guess would be Carb was adjusted Cold,and needs to be adjusted on the water,with motor warmed up. Sounds like its not getting enough Air mixed in with the Fuel.......but the test above will let you know witch way ya gotta go;)

prolly something simple, but my 2 stroke 25hp evinrude will run at full throttle and wide open then it will loose power and i have to keep the throttle wide open to even keep it running. i thought of the carb for a second but if it can get up to speed and run fine then do that, then that shouldnt be it. maybe the float was sticking, but the float once open wide open won't close again till i let off the throttle some to stick. the spark plugs looked fine. the fuel lines good and the spark plug wires fine. water pump good so its prolly not the thermostat limiting it. very confused, i think i'll replace the plugs and wires. maybe the wires have a defect in them. idk, any imput or past experience would be appreciated.
