I have a 2012 tohatsu. It the direct injection 2 stroke. It will idle and run wide open just fine. If you easy into the throttle it will shut off like its not getting any gas, but if you push it quick past that spot it will run fine. Anyone have any suggestions on what to look for/at?

Check pressures, May have a sticky injector as well. What is your actual TLDI model?

Sounds like the idle speed and idle mixture are a little to lean. Outboard motors are to be shifted quickly. That is stated in your owners manual.
