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.

Don't worry yet about fouling up more, let's get you foulded up less
first
anyway, you have put enough into this so far, just finish the job and
be done with it. Get a new pump and filter, and put em' on. Don't
skimp now after all that work and money, finish the job and go out on
the water with confidence. Just my opinion.
