Answer
Hi J

Your o/b motor is 22 yrs. old and parts are wearing out. Loss of power can result from worn piston rings, which cause a reduction in compression. Check the impeller to ensure it hasn't dried out and the blades haven't disintegrated. When this occurs, the engine is not properly cooled, so the block expands, restricting movement of the pistons, which can cause scoring of the cylinder walls. You suggest the engine appears sluggish and won't idle properly, so check the diaphram in the carb, as it might be damaged and require replacement. Problem is, parts may be difficult to locate. If you can find a knowledgeable mechanic that's familiar with those old engines, it might be your best  resourse for repairs.
