    Well, 2.5 turns out is too much for sure, indicating a problem somewhere…. The needle should be pretty “pointy”, surely not blunt. Check the simple stuff first….Sounds like you have the coil air gaps “close enough”. Check the prop pitch, perhaps it has an 8″ pitch prop from a 10hp installed, which might explain its lack of WOT power also….
    Try to do a video of the engine running, maybe that will help us pinpoint something….
