I have a 1980 Chrysler 115 that is giving me issues. On the water hose it runs like a champ, but in the water it is a turd!!! Won't idle and acts like it don't want to get up and go. when you throttle off it just dies!! Any ideas???

Idle speed should be 750-800, in gear, in water (not muffs, need the resistance). Fuel pump diaphram may be torn or stretched.
