1882 60hp runs good to 3/4 throttle-no problem, very smoothe. If you push it on up it stutters and goes fast and immediately backs down--over and over--just won't kick on up to full speed. Bulb doesn't collapse, pumping doesn't effect it, new, clean fuel mix.--starts good, idles good and planes out good, up to about 3/4 throttle. What should I check next? Thanks---Phillip

Give the carbs a service and do a decarb with seafoam. Do a compression check and a spark test. Let us all know what results you get.
What is your set up ??? boat, motor, load etc ???

Should go a treat with that set up.
What RPM are you at when it stutters ?? and what speed are you doing at that point ??
