Well, now I am really stumped. When out of gear, engine revs perfectly. When put in forward, the revs will not increase. In reverse, just stalls. Help please!!

I don't really know a lot about the boat engines and what they all have, is there a lift pump with a primer on the side of the injection pump?
If there is, does it have a screen in the bottom banjo fitting where the fuel enters the lift pump, that one may need to be cleaned.

Otherwise have you had the injection pump off or have you adjusted it for any reason?
I know the voices are not real,
but they have some really good ideas.
