I had a Merc 200 automatic that preformed in a similar way. It had the right main jet in place, by the stamped number; but someone along the line had enlarged the HOLE with a drill, just a bit. When I finally figured that out (after a couple of YEARS) I robbed the jet out of another carb and the thing ran like the wind. Totally different engine, in terms of performance….

Long live American manufacturing!
