I just had a 1989 2150 Bayliner Engine rebuilt. It is a 5.8 L OMC. I also had the lower shifter cable replaced because it was not going in reverse. Outside of the water it will go forward and reverse. I took it to the lake for the first time and it would not idol or go into reverse because it kept dying. It would go forward with throttle and go into neutral then die. I took it to the lake a second time and I adjusted the idol up and it went in reverse just fine and would not come out of reverse unless I turn off the engine. After this I tried going forward and it would not come out going forward unless I turned it off. The only thing I had adjusted was the idle rpm's and it went out of forward the first time it was at the lake so I thought I had it idling too high. I just did the idol back down and then the idol started acting really sporadic and I could not get it to go into reverse again, I just heard the clicking of the gears. I know this is really long, any thoughts on what is happening ?
