HI All Im hoping for some insight on an issue I'm having with an older outboard I have. its a 2001 honda 25hp 4stroke that I just had 3 brand new carburetors installed about a year ago. After that point I did not use the boat much besides to run at idle in the driveway. I had no issues running in idle and last week I took it out and ran it in the water for a few hours. At one point during the trip I was about 3/4 throttle and I felt a give or pop in the throttle and had to bring it back to neutral. After that point when I started engine I would have to run it at full choke for it to run it neutral and then quickly put it into gear for it to run. after that it would run fine in gear but not neutral. I hauled the boat out and adjusted the idle screw 2 turns and then engine now idles well but when I put it in gear it dies. I have tried leaving it in neutral and running for about 10 min then putting in gear but it immediately dies. I tried backing off the idle screw but then the neutral craps out.
sorry for the long winded story
any help would be greatly appreciated.
