Mellisa,
How old is the fuel in the tank? It should be new and fresh for best results. You stated that you put in a new fuel filter. Was it a water separator filter? That would be a large in line fuel/water filter on the outside of your engine, not the small one inside the engine cover. If your fuel has water in it a 2 stroke engine may burn it or force it through the engine at low rpms, but it will not burn it at higher rpms plus it could damage your engine. I'm only guessing this may be the problem since the motor and boat is an older model.If it sat up and was not used for awhile water could accumulate and the fuel lose its octane. Good luck with your "new" boat.You will really enjoy it when you get your motor running correctly.
