Who's running a 200hp outboard?

BS,
The way it cut out sounds like it could be fuel delivery, but that seems like the only symptom consistent with that. First day I had it out, I ran it WOT with no problems for longer than I did the day it died. Primer bulb stays full/not collapsed. It might not be a costly fix, but at this point I'm shopping for peace of mind as much as I am for replacement power. ;)

Skools,
That's kool of you. ;D
I dug up the get-it-up-and-running service order from this spring and here were the compression numbers
#1=70, #2=75, #3=70, #4=85, #5=75, #6=80
I've since put only about 10 hours on it.
Actually I was supposed to tow the boat down for vacation with the idea that the we could go see the tall ships in Beaufort by water. We'll just wing it, and thanks for offering to help.
