Tomc took the words right out of my mouth. I'd change the spark plugs first. And if you put platinums in it, that could be your problem. Put a regular old Champion Marine Plug in, it'll run better I promise.
Also, how old is the fuel? 2 stroke right? How rich did you mix the fuel? Did you use the correct kind of oil? Alot of the older motors call for a richer gas/oil mixture. Don't pay that no attention. That was back then, and this is now. Oil back then was of alot cheaper quality. Any 2 stroke outboard, new and old, runs great on 50:1 mix with the newer, high quality 2 stroke oils. [cool]
