I just bought a Skeeter Starfire so I am new to the outboard world. The engine is a 85 Mariner 150 HP. The engine seems to start fine for the age but when I shift the boat into gear, the engine often dies. If anyone out there knows more than I do please help. Oh and one more thing,<br />the carb was rebuilt right before I bought it.<br />Thanks :confused:

Check compression.<br />Verify the idle setting on the carb.
