Working on my 2 cycle 3 HP Yanmar outboard. The motor starts easily, and can rev up to full RPM when in neutral. Once in gear however at full throttle under load the RPMs are significantly lower than they previously were and the power is reduced from what I remember. The motor responds to throttle control but again does not get up to full power under load. I tried to adjust the single mixture screw on the carb when under load however the screw had no effect either totally closed or backed out. The RPMs stayed effectively the same. (Yes I had the correct screw and not the idle screw). I checked the needle tip of the screw and there are no nicks etc. I am wondering how the engine can continue to run at higher than idle but not at full RPM with the throttle at max and the mixture screw totally seated.
