Took my boat out for the second time yesterday. The motor starts cold by the third pull and on the first pull when warm. In neutral it will rev up to full throttle, but when in gear beyond about half there is no increase. I know almost nada about outboards. Any input would be greatly appreciated.

There could be a whole website dedicated to fuel related problems. Bottom line is today's gas sucks and gums up the fuel system from the tank to the carb. Ya gotta clean it.
 
I have been reading about the fuel problems. According to the old manual I have for this motor, I have to remove the flywheel to get to the carb. Anyone know what type of puller I need and where to purchase?
Thanks,
Mike
