I have an '02, Honda 15 hp 4 stroke that runs excellent until you put the engine cover back on.

Then it's starving for air like the choke is on. It will eventually load up and die. Remove the engine cover and it runs perfectly again.

There is no restriction in the cover, the air intake on the back of the cover is wide open.

Any help would be sincerely appreciated.

You may have a leak on exhaust. Check for gas tightness of mating surfaces and corrosion of pipe .....especially if used in saltwater.
