Okay self- boat mechanics. I’ve got a 1994 Starcraft with an outboard motor. We took it to the mechanic, they
Friday, January 15th, 2010said the engine's fine. It starts fine but as soon as you put it into gear it dies. They used the rebuild kit of the carb. and replaced the waterpump and new spark plugs. So we thought everything was cool. We took it to the lake... same problem. Now it's back in the shop again. What do you think it could possibly be?!? We've had the boat for a month now and haven't even got to take it out yet.
