Possible fuel pump issues

I picked up a 94 j16 skiff with a 2004 yamaha 25hp 2 stroke. Im having issues when running at full throttle. Sporadically the motor will slow down like it can’t maintain speed but when I go slower it runs fine and after I speed back up its fine. I replaced the fuel line/bulb/inline fuel filter and the gas is good.

I’m thinking it could be a fuel pump. Any suggestions on where to take it, or could it be something simple that I can fix?

Any info is appreciated!

when that happens…
pump the primer bulb and see if the symptom goes away

If it is the fuel pump, there usually isn’t must to rebuilding them…
