I have a 1966 80HP Johnson Super Sea Horse Electromatic outboard engine.<br /><br />The engine runs great, takes off, and planes out reasonably quick. However once plained out, and WOT it acts as if it is running out of gas. If I eas back a little it fine, but as soon I return to WOT it seems to stall out. (as if out of gas) <br /><br />Anyone have any ideas?<br /><br />I never has this problem until last weekend I ran it for about 10 mins on WOT, with the breather cap on the gas tank shut. Then of course it was bogging...

Try pumping the bulb. If it picks up the diapraghm in the fuel pump is bad.
