2001 Mercury 125 HP outboard - won't reach full power

Fixed. Bad #2 CDM. It was just a coincidence that it went bad at the same time I overhauled the carbs.

Funny. It idled just fine.

Oh well, it’s fixed and running GREAT!

thanks to all for your suggestions!

Glad to hear you're operational once more

You say it idled fine. Must have been dead on one of the two cylinders that don't fire below 1800-2000 rpm
