STALLING IN REVERSE

[evinrude40HP]

I HAVE A 1962 EVINRUDE 40HP ENGINE. I STARTED THE MOTOR THE OTHER DAY IN A 55 GALLON DRUM. THE MOTOR RAN FINE. IT IDLED OK. I PUT IT IN FORWARD AND IT WAS FINE. BUT WHEN I PUT IT IN REVERSE, IT STALLS. ANY IDEAS. THANKS

I had the same problem not to long ago. I rebuilt the carb., cleaned leaf plates, and decarbed.
