I am not a mechanic but I would not suggest running your motor at high RPM without a load (in gear, in the water) on the motor. I do know that you should never run your motor on the earmuffs/garden hose at anything above idle. It just doesn't get enough water presure to stay cool.

Sounds like you are having the same problem I had earlier this summer. The fuel bulb was getting sucked dry after a good long run. Try to find a small air leak in your fuel line and replace that fuel bulb if its more then a couple years old.
