My atomic 4 runs fine in neutral but when i put it in gear it stalls out ( in both forward and reverse) what could be the cause of this and what do i need to do to fix it ?

experienced a problem like this years ago. Problem was caused by back pressure in the exhaust system. The verical riser was filled with rust and scale.

Check your spark plugs to see if they are sooty and black, which may indicate a back-pressure issue. Those big, ugly "aqualift" mufflers that look like hot water tanks are notorious for plugging up and causing excessive back-pressure. They are often fitted on sailboats powered by atomics.
