My Force 150 idles at 7000 RPM then it's like a switch gets turned on and it kicks up to 10000 RPM's. does that off and on all day while trolling. I'm thinking it's a fuel issue? Also dies when shifting from neutral to reverse or forward

The 7000 ?? you mean 700?

The sudden burst from 700 to 1000 could be a bad spark plug, a bad coil, the trigger has a bad connection,
a bad ground somewhere, the carbs not set right?
Does it run ok when running fast?
Had a problem with an intermittent miss, one wire from the trigger was broken under the shrink wrap/connector.

Do a compression test, test spark on each cylinder.
Change/check the diaphragms in both fuel pumps.

Did comp test when I bought it a couple years ago. That was fine. Runs great other than idle. I'll check the other things. Thanks for your help!
