I wouldn't begin with the fuel pump. If you can run full throttle, it is probably fine. Are you using fresh gas? Really old fuel will cause a motor to act like this. Otherwise, 99% chance this is a gummed carb issue. If you are careful you'll be able to open up the carb and clean the gunk out of all the tiny passage ways (some are microscopic) without needing even a gasket.
Should you need parts, unfortunately Honda has a pretty lousy marine dealer network in norther Utah with nothing at all in Salt Lake County.
I think Newgate Motorsports in Ogden or Monarch Honda in Orem can order parts for sub-20HP motors.
If neither of these places have what you need in stock, you can probably get it cheaper and faster from an online supplier. Just search for honda marine parts.
