Good afternoon,

I recently bought and installed this motor on my boat. The engine starts and idles fine, but when I place the motor in gear it dies. To install the motor, I removed the throttle and shift cables from the engine. Is there an adjustment on these cables that I need to do because I removed them (link and sync) I just received the service manual today. Any hints or tips on how to trouble shoot would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
 
The throttle cable has nothing to do with the famous ( link & sinc ) procedure.-------Did the motor come with warranty ?-----What trouble shooting have you done ?-----Compression test and post the numbers.-----Spark test.-----Where did you buy the motor ?----Did motor sit for many years and carburetors are perhaps plugged ?
