I picked up a 1990 20 hp Mariner recently and went through it systematically .Good compression ,spark ,clean carb ,lu end lube has no water ,shifts well .It now starts and idles well but seems to top out at about 3/4 throttle .I checked all the linkage and it seems to be advancing properly but this is a make I don't have much experience on so maybe i'm missing something basic ,any ideas?
