I have an early 1990's honda 4 storke 15 horsepower engine on my boat and im having some problems with it. I can get it to start up and idle fine but as soon as i shift it into gear it shuts off. Can anybody tell me what the problem is? I have a week off and was hoping to get some fishing in.

thanks

Can you turn the prop by hand?

yea

It sounds like the idle may be set a little low, or the timing may be a little retarded, has anyone messed with any of the settings?

It could also be a restriction in the fuel delivery system, have you checked your fuel supply system? the whole thing?

No i havent checked the fuel supply system. I think im going to call a marina tomorrow and have them take a look at it.

needs a carb cleanout. probably has a clogged low speed jet.
