My merc 800 stalls when i put it in gear. Warm or cold, reverse or forward, makes no difference. I have low compression on my top cylinder, could this be my only problem? I had the engine checked a few weeks ago, rebuild carbs, new fuel lines, etc. I have to put it in gear and throttle it right away to get it going, once its going, then I can drop it right down and it putters fine. I feel that upping the Idle speed will bring it to high as i think I am closer to 1000 rpm at idle right now. now i do have a 19 pitch prop on it, do you think that could cause something like this (on a week engine)?
Thanks for the help.
