    The symptom you describe sounds like the motor is leaning out at wot. A failing fuel pump, a weak sealing connection, a failing 'anti-syphon valve' or a restricted fuel line are normally found to be the issue.
    I'd rather be fishing.

    Hello: Could also be fuel filter or bad fuel line. I'm pretty sure it's a fuel issue . Does it run fine at lower throttle settings ? Good Luck . O - R

    What they said and be sure to check your fuel line, especially the primer bulb. All should be soft and pliable. No cracks.
