i have recently obtained a bay-liner Capri with a 50 hp force engine. the boat has been siting up since 2004. i completely rebuilt the boat but when i got the engine running it will crank up but every time i push the throttle down for forwards or reverse it dies when it goes into gear. does anyone know what the problem could be???

Mine had the same problem due to a dirty carb...try decarbing it with a good carb cleaner but you more than likely need to take it apart and clean the carb real well.

i took the card off and some what cleaned it. last year when i got the boat i got the motor running and i shifted into gear and everything but the my truck was totaled so i couldnt move the boat until last week and when i got it in the lake it took a while to get running and when i did it would die every time i would try to go
