1992 40 hp Evinrude Engine Question

I have a 1992 40 hp evinrude. It idles fine and runs good up to 2200 rpm. Above 2200 rpm it skips and jumps. Any thoughts?

Thanks

Most likely dirty carbs or ignition coils/power pack. Just a guess.

or its going into rpm reduction from overheat sensor

SLOW or S.A.F.E. mode i think is what Chris is talking about. He knows more than I do. Give us more details, does it ever free up from the skips and jumps and accelerates past 2200rpm?
