1991 bayliner capri dies when in gear!!!!!!!

[daber_6768]

Before heading to the lake,I tested everything just to make sure that boat is running properly. 1991 bayliner capri 120 force L-drive,I put the boat in the water, turns on right away, boat idles and revs up normal in neutral . As soon as i put it in gear and theres a load on the prop, it boggs out over 1100 rpm's. I could run it all day at 1100 or less, but any more rpms and it dies out. Does anybody have an idea on what my problem could be? When there's no load, everything is normal!!! Could it be a gas pressure or carburator problem, or is it something else? Can it be the gas and oil mixture? Any information will be greatly appriciated!!!!!!!!!!

When in neutral, can you turn the prop by hand, does it spin without binding? Also, check the cylinder compression, it should be between 110 to 150 PSI and no more than 5 PSI difference between each cylinder. Another thing to look for, is to make sure all cylinders are firing. There are many threads regarding this, I suggest you use forum search to pull up older troubleshooting threads on this forum.

The prop turns with out any binding, I will check the compression for the cylinders. I checked the firing by removing the plugs, i dont have any spark on any of the wires. I will also check the battery, I think its not charging properly!!!!

I checked the spark on wires, I got no spark at all. I thought it was going to be the gas pressure, but its not.
