Idling to slow or low speed jets in the carbs need cleaning and/or Link&Sync needs to be performed. You need a service manual for that specific engine to perform Link&Sync. It is far too long a procedure to type here and you likely need the pictures to explain what things are.

When you were in the carbs did you remove all the jets for a visual inspection of them? Follow Silvertip's suggestions. You can get a factory service manual for your exact outboard from outboardbooks.com, or call Ken Cook co., in Milwaukee.

Does it run well once you finally get it into gear without stalling?
