Hi everyone, my motors past 3 month without running once in the water they run ok for a while and after 30 min and refueling, they start again ok in idle but when trying to angage the gear ahead or astern the revolutions rise up to 1500 and then drops until motor stops if increase speed on idle they do ok but once engaged try to get the speed and would not pass the 1500 rpm and motor will stop, in the past one mechanic tall me carburatos dirty but now did his routine to block the air intake and accelerate the mootr to clear blocked ways but now not working, any sugestions???

Jose, Your description is hard to follow. It does sound like carbs, however, it is hard to be sure. You might take it in to a good mechanic.
