    make sure your idle isnt too low. also check for binding in the lower unit. if thats locked up it will die. i think there is a switch (engine cutoff switch??) that can go bad and tell the powerhead to cut off when put in gear. dont quote me on that though. good luck. what is the model number on your engine?
