I took it out yesterday and ran it at around 14K RPM out of the local

Damn - Yamaha's have that much RPM built in?

Whoa momma!!!

Heh - anyway...

At my marina, they've been seeing a lot of problem with sediment in
the gas supplies around Narragansett Bay - nobody wants to sink a ton
of money into gas this season and I can't blame them. The supply of
gas also seems to be of less quality than before - I've noticed that
on my little tin boat and Ranger.

I'd change out the filter again just to see if that solves the
problem. It's cheap enough and if it fixes the problem, then you need
to get your gas at a different supplier.

Good luck.
