Hi, I have a early to mid sixties 50 horse four cylinder outboard. It idles up fine, but as soon as I engage the prop it power out quickly and stalls. It just got no jam. The motor was rebuilt three years ago and really worked great for a couple of trips, then This issued showed up. I changed the plugs and fresh fuel yesterday. I did notice that the was a little fuel dripping from the front of the intake on the lower carb. Anyone have suggestions of me? Thanks, Monte
 
You need to adjust the idle properly (warmed up, in gear, boat not moving), then add 1/2 turn OUT on both idle mixture screws.
