Default Outboard engine help please!!

This morning I opened up the fuel pump and cleaned it. It was very
yellow inside! Immediately out on the water, I saw a difference, when
pushing the throttle up, it still bogged, but then came up and stayed
up to full speed! I think it's safe now to say that the fuel pump is
the issue. I ran it for 2 hrs today and it's the best it's been yet!
Now I'm not sure how to finally fix this, a fuel pump rebuild, or a
new one all together? I may start with a new fuel filter incase that
is coming into play somehow. Should I stick with 50 to 1 nix? I was
using wlamart 2 cycle, but just picked up a case of Valvoline... Read
that cheap 2 cycle will foul up more.
