Default G-38 Full throttle ?

I've got a G-38 that has been running just fine for the past year. However now, when I advance the throttle above 75%, it sags and appears to be going lean, and stops. Idle and mid-range are fine. And so, I progressively ( 1/16* movements ) increased the carb "H" setting to 1/4 turn richer. It still sags and stops above 75% throttle. What's going on ?

debris on the internal carb filter screen would be my first guess

My G23 behaved that way once, it would idle all day and run up to just a bit above half throttle with no problem, but would die immediately if opened any further. Turned out to be exactly what Arobatx suggested, the carb's internal filter screen was partially clogged with debris.

Exactly. That little screen will definitely get dirty and cause the engine to starve for fuel.
