troubleshooting 200 johnson 1980 v6, runs great on land in and out of gear, but when in the water it will run at low speed for about 15min, then when you push on throttle engine shuts off. then it will start up and runs great at idle but as soon as i put it in gear stalls out again. any help would be greatly appreciated

Howdy, Soce.<br /><br />Betcha it doesn't run great anywhere if it is under load.<br /><br />Check out UrCowboy's post for how to find and isolate the trouble.<br /><br />Good luck :)
