I purchased a used boat powered by a Tohatsu 2014 20 hp 4 stroke with electric stare and tilt. The engine has a very low idle and hesitates or stalls when taking off. It runs fine at higher rpms, just bogs/ stalls when taking off, even when warm. . I have only used non ethanol fuel. I flushed the tank and put new gas. ran some sea foam. Plugs look fine. Thinking partially clogged low speed jet. . Was going to pull tha carb to see if there was any junk in the bowl and jets, but I cant get the back carb bolt out. there doesn't seem to be any way to get a socket with extension in there from the front. I took the plastic cowling off and can get a 10mm wrench on but there isn't enough room to turn it and not enough room for the box end. It's spring here in N FL and with the fishing heating up I'll have to wait weeks for a mechanic to get to it. I've rebuilt carbs before on older engines. advice. Am I missing something. I searched this site, and you tube/google already. also looking for a good manual.
