I have an Evinrude 140 1985 that ran great on a 18' Boston Whaler, but when I moved it to my Grady White it stalls when you put it into gear. (either forward or reverse) If I put it into gear and then give it some throtle quickly we are on our way, but if I idle in gear coming off or going onto the mooring, it will stall out. I did not know if the linkage adjustments needed to be tweaked (since that is the only thing that changed) or if the idle needed to be upped. I am running the same oiltank, wiring and even the same controls and cables from the Boston Whaler. Any input would be helpful.

Try to bump primer button before engine falls to determine whether carbs are running a bit lean with the out of hole load change .
