[QUOTE="JGibson, post: 301318, member: 9445"] I just recently bought a used boat with a 1985 Evinrude 150XP. The motor runs (With the exception of a miss) pretty good out of water and in. It will go in gear (forward & reverse) good out of water. I took it to the lake today, started fine, had to set the idle a little, put it in gear and it shut off, several times. The only way I could get it to actually run was to lift the motor out of the water, shift into drive then lower it back into the water. It spit and sputtered for awhile then it started to pick up and when it did it ran fine til I would start coming back out of it, the miss started back again and the spitting and sputtering...any ideas what could be causing this? I'm so frustrated right now that I could almost stab holes in it, take it back to the lake and watch it sink Lol. [/QUOTE]
