"I am running this as a kicker
"I am running this as a kicker motor on a sailboat. I Got caught up in some weeds launching the boat. I cleaned all the weeds off but the motor dies if I put it in forward or reverse unless I have about 1/3 choke open, runs fine in neutral with out the choke. Ran fine before this.
Is it possible that weeds may have gotten twisted on the prop shaft inside the lower unit? I would like to find any obvious issues before spending cash at the repair shop. Thanks"
