Default Re: 85 HP Yamaha Engine dies when put into gear

This question have been asked so many times, and have many answers, but the first thing to check is the air mixture screws on the carbs, just adjust them slightly until the idle is nice and smooth and maybe a little faster, if that doesn't work, then we take it from there. good luck
