Suddenly my low hour 90HP Mercury 2-Stroke is limited to 3000 RPM's full throttle while in gear. Will sometimes begin to climb to 3300-3500, but only on surge.

Not sure what to do other than take it in. Fuel line and primer bulb look good, no gas smell. I have not tried messing with choke. It seems the problem started after hiitting a chop while throtling up, but then slowed and would not climb past 3000 rpm. Any ideas?

Could be fuel related (carbs, pump etc.) or high speed stator.
