"Hi guys . your previous suggestions helped out with the running of my 77 mercruiser 165...i soaked carb in seafoam, then boiled it . now it both idles smoothly and i can also give throttle with good response..EXCEPT that now when the linkage is hooked back to the carb and i try to put in gear (both forward and reverse )it dies...the control is a single lever with a push/pull gear engage button..do you guys think that this is a cable adjustment issue or bad shift cutout switch..seloc manual is like reading chinese on these issues ...thanks"
