88 model 60 hp rude sluggish

I have had the cab. cleaned the fuel pump changed new plugs.
When coming out of the hole I have to hit the choke 2 to 3 times to get it up.
At top end it is not fully open I can hit the choke and it will speed up for just a little and slow back down.
What do I need to look at next? How do I check for the carb. to be right with out pulling them again?
The compression is around 125 per cyl.

Sounds like the jets/orifices in the carb were overlooked, and they still contain crud/varnish.

Pull the carbs and bath/rebuild fully. Check out the thread in the FAQ regarding Carb Cleaning by Tashasdaddy.
