So I took my new to me 9.5 hp evinrude sportstwin on the water first time yesterday. It's a 1972 I believe. Started one pull every time and ran great except after the throttle position "start" the motor wouldn't go any faster. Once at the "Fast" position it would start to bog down a little. But basically near the "Start" was the fastest it would go. I took the top off and watched it on the water the linkage is still moving from "Start" to "Fast" but there's no more acceleration. My first thought is it's not getting enough gas so I looked for kinks and found it was a little kinked where it attaches to motor but straightening that out made no difference. Out of the water it seemed to do just fine. I also recently added an inline fuel filter because I had it and thought it would help. Just wondering if this is a motor issue or could it be not getting enough fuel. Any ideas? Thanks.
