Howdy bestone.

Welcome to iboats. :)

Your engine is not getting enough gas to go fast.

This problem is usually because of some restriction in the fuel line, a failing fuel pump, poorly vented fuel tank or a trouble with the anti-siphon valve in the outlet of the fuel tank.

Hand pumping the primer bulb is strong enough to overcome the problem.

Check those things out and let us know what you find.

Good luck. :)
