You should not have lost 600 RPM with 1 inch, unless it was a bigger diameter and went to a 4 blade prop

Put the old prop back on and see if it runs the same or better

Try pumping the primer bulb and see if that fixes the issue, you have 2 fuel pumps on that motor

A low pressure pump that fills up the higher pressure fuel pump tank called a VST

If your getting full RPM's then we know that all the cylinders are sparking

Post the serial number so we can look up the ignition, some have a low and high speed stator
