I have a 7.5 merc. I am having trouble troubleshooting the issues that I am having. The motor idles fine when in neutral. Then when I put it in gear and and accelerate the motor spits and sputters and shuts off. I can keep the motor running by pumping the ball and keeping the gas flowing. I have cleaned the carb and made sure everything looks good. I am looking for some ideas as to what maybe the case.

Make sure the plastic venturi is in the carb when you clean it
