I have an 89 XP 150 that I have since brand new, it has been a fantastic motor and I've had no major problems except a couple of carb rebuilds, new thermostats, and a new PP. At the beginning of this fishing season (March 2013) I noticed that the hole shot and top end speed were not as good as they have been in the past, gradualy it has gotten worst to were that the last time I had it out on the water the hole shot was nill and the engine would not get over 3000 RPM even with the throttle at wide open. The engine starts up with no problems and will rev above 3000RPM in the water and not in gear, but as soon as you put it in gear and give it the gass it will not get above 3000 RPM. I have had issues in the past were it would bog down when pressing on the gas (carb rebuild fixed this problem) but this is not the issue this time it revs up fine till it gets to 3000 and then that's it. I haven't really started looking at anything yet since I was looking for some advice on a good starting point before I open up the repair manual. Any assistance would be greatly appreaciated. Thanks
