I have a 1983 Johnson 70 HP and I'm trying to do a check of the fuel system. The motor stalls when I put it in gear, although it does start and idle fine. I've checked other things and it seems to be that the motor is not getting enough gas except at idle. I know there is a vacuum line that goes into the fuel pump that helps the pump at power, is there anyway to check the system? By the way the pump is brand new.<br />Thanks in advance
