OK, how about pumping the primer bulb while the engine falters.  Seems like it might be having a fuel pump/delivery issue

As stated above, I did try squeezing the primer while at fast idle
in neutral, and it did seem to help, but when in gear and throttle
wide open, I never did get it to “wind up” very much.
Didn’t get back to it today… other projects, mowing lawn,
and I really need to make another stand to work on it.
This 15 hp motor is a heavy bugger, and I don’t trust my
outboard vise mount, nor do I think I can lift it that
high any more!

Prepare to be boarded!
