Machine starts right up and everything works. Notice that it gradually loses power. The more I increase the throttle the less power and rpm I get. Cold be fuel filter??

My 246 goes thru fuel filters pretty fast..I change both every year and I only put about 50 hrs a year on..I also installed a pre filter ahead of the 30 micron filter...previous owner apparently didn't feel keeping crap out of the fuel tank was a priority..
