My motor starts and runs good.

My motor starts and runs good. As soon as I try to shift into reverse neutral or forward it cuts out I don't know why? I start it let it warm up in the warm up gear position then try to pop it in reverse and it dies. Does anyone know what it might be?

I have the same problem with m

I have the same problem with my Force 120 and I'm also new to boats. My first one in fact. Mine runs like a charm when I can get her to shift. But that doesn't always happen. Most of the times when I go from neutral to forward it starts making a weird rattle sound and then cuts out. Help please!
