Hi All,
New, stupid, & bit a beginner here, but I'm starting to lose my mind with this engine. Definitely don't assume that any problem is something I would have figured out. I did a bunch of work to this outboard about a month and a half ago, was running great, then while out it started to bog. Next morning would not start at all. Could get it to run with throttle wide open, but it was fighting for its life & would eventually die. Easing off throttle also kills it. The behavior you can see in the video attached. If you're not comfortable opening a random link posted by a stranger, I can try to describe it in more detail.
