I have a 1994 Force 50 that is having issues staying running going into gear. Here is the scenario: I can get it to start fine and idle perfectly on the muffs at home, however, I get it on the water, prime the bulb to full pressure, and I have to use the fast idle lever and choke to get it started. Once it starts with the fast idle lever it takes a few tries to get it to idle fine with the lever down. As I put it in forward gear, the motor dies. If I drop down the fast idle lever and put it in gear to wot quickly it will start slowly and within a minute it will get to plane at full speed and runs perfectly. I had adjusted the idle speed earlier and accidentally messed with the air/mix screw on the carb, however i did read other posts and turned it all the way in and then out 1 and 1/8 turn, replaced the bulb and fuel filter and some gas line and a fresh 1/4 tank of gas, an am lost as to what to do next. I haven't filled the fuel tank all they way and am thinking it may be best to just take it in at this point, if anyone has any ideas I could try please let me know, I am open to anything and everything. Thanks!
