Re: 20 hp mariner quits at full throttle
If your recently cleaned the carb and adjusted idle mixture at an idle you may still be too lean on the idle circuit.
The idle MUST BE set with the motor IN the water, AND while IN gear. The water causes the exhaust back-pressure and in gear places the motor under load, BOTH make the motor demand more idle fuel.
Once adjusted to 'Best Idle Speed' the motor demands even MORE idle fuel to accelerate when the throttle is opened. Two strokes do not have an accelerator pump. Open the idle mixture screw another 1/8 turn and test acceleration in gear, ANY bog, hesitation, lean cough, indicates a need for more idle fuel.
Open the idle fuel just the width of the screwdriver blade slot and retest acceleration in gear.
Repeat to perfection.
