Idles fine, but when I shift to forward it dies.

[Cucaracho]

The engine idles just fine, but when I shift to forward it dies.......like a lack of fuel,
I moved the red choke lever to the open position and tried it again and it runs
forward, it does not die, but very slow. I looks like it is not receiving fuel form the carbs, not enough that is. Just rebuilt the carbs, cleaned the jets, I am sure the jets are where they came from. Tried to help pressing the primer bulb but nothing happened.........

What do you guys think?

it sounds like you did not get the carbs clean, or your idle is set too low. you need to check the carbs, and do a link n sinc.
