    81 omc sterndrive

    It's the cables that are in the control box in the back of the motor, they go from that box into the sterndrive, when I try to go forward it goes in reverse and vice versa I am just wanting to know if they can be switched up top or do I have to take the sterndrive apart

    Motor runs but in water dies when throttled

    Yes it is a marine carburetor and no I have not not checked the full length of the fuel line. I bought the boat with the existing problems from a friend that really didn't tell me everything, I will check the entire fuel line
