Question Motor won't rev in gear ? Mariner 225

Today I went out with the boat and it won't go over 2500 rpms. The last time I was out the motor ran like a charm. It does rev in netural just fine it's only in gear that I have the problem. This never happen before. By the way I didn't change the prop same prop as alwaws.

Thanks fellas

Mariner 225 Offshore serial #og201349

I removed the carb and took off the bottom cover that houses the float and there was a screw that held the float pin in once that screw was taken off I carefully removed the float ( be careful the pin has a very small spring on it )
got some carb. cleaner and cleaned everything out. this I sprayed wd40 and reassembled it. Fished all day today runs perfect.

hope this can help you out
