I have a DT100 2 stroke Was running fine. Started up after a fish and it wouldn't idle properly or accelerate, eventually got it to do 1500 rpm.
Got home and checked fuel lines filters etc 
Water pumping well
Compression all 130 
Fuel pump suppling ok 
Plugs bit wet 
Put it back together with muffs, started well, revved free on hand throttle.
Put it in the tide and started easy, pumped water well, then idle rough and had trouble to get it to run long enough to get it in gear, finally in gear and same thing 1500 rpm max at about the right throttle setting any more throttle and it dies.
Any help would be appreciated.
Cheers

I am guessing it is a carbureted motor? I'd drain the fuel bowls before anything else.

Could be a powerpack or coil problem? ...old saying...90⁹% of carb problems are in the electrics...
