i have a 20 hp mariner that will not idle unless the throttle is open and even then it idles like crap. and when i can keep it running it will never open up and sometimes it does backfire. it honestly sounds like it has a miss but i took it to a boat repair and he checked the spark and compression and said everything was fine. he also rebuilt the carburetor and nothing has changed it still does the same.
any help is greatly appreciated this thing is driving me crazy!!!
