88 50 hp force

[jimmy nutter]

i replaced the reeds on my 50 hp and set the air gap and now it will idle but as soon as you give it throttle it dies and if you hold you fingers over the front of the carb, it will accelerate fine carb has been checked and is clean plugs are new and before i replaced the reeds it would not idle down at times

Holding your fingers over the carb throat is choking it, aka, giving it more gas. Check your fuel supply system, starting with the pump.
