Merc 2009 50hp 25 hrs- Will not start until throttle full open and choked. Will idle (roughly) in neutral, but dies as soon as its placed in gear. Runs great at full throttle, but will die shortly after going to idle speed. Have run Sea Foam for awhile, but does not seem to be getting any better. Help!

Re: idle problem

Sounds like clogged idle circuit passages....pull carb,soak and clean out all passages,blow out with compressed air and rebuild.
