"Trying to solve a problem. T

"Trying to solve a problem. This motor starts easy and idles fine in the water. Goes into reverse fine and then back to neutral. However, when going into forward it dies. I can sometimes get it to stay running by playing with throttle then pushing it into forward real fast. It then runs great at all speeds after that. You can bring it back to a troll fine. But if you go back to neutral and then forward it will die. Usually takes 3 or 4 tries to get it going again in forward. If it was carbs would it not die in reverse or when I idle it up in neurtal. Any help appreciated."
