Re: Bad fuel pump??
I think it depends on amount of restriction. If filter is seriously clogged, yes, that'll reduce max rpm. If just slightly plugged, it could reduce fuel pressure just enough to reduce flow to the top carb, making it act like float was too low.
On my old 115, I had a slightly plugged carb one time; don't remember if it was inlet needle and seat or a main jet. It didn't show up until after about 10 seconds at WOT, when it began to surge, but it would still hit max rpm between surges.
