motor dies when put in gear
Buddy of mine has a 125 Mercury 2001 (not for sure about the year). The motor starts fine, but dies when the motor is placed in gear. It seems to better if it is left to idle for a while before moving. I know this is not the way the motor should react. Any one have suggestions on the cause and hopefully the fix. I wondered about a fouled plug or something like that, but I don't know. Thanks!

Mine does that on occasion-just pushing the throttle forward a little more pretty much takes care of it.

Could be a blockage of some type in the carburetor. Could have some type of blockage in the fuel filter.

1.check the fuel filter.
2.make sure the fuel lines are in good shape(not leaking or sucking air into the system. 3.make sure the lower unit is not locking up. 4.check the fuel pump. mine did that(suzuki 150),had to replace the fuel pumps(it has 2,some motors have 1)

Mine (40HP Johnson) dies like that until it is warmed up a little too. I changed the filter and rebuilt the carbs so if I want to work on it next I will check the pump.

Our 79 glastron used to do that, the gas priming ball was dry rotted, after we replaced that everything was good to go

Could just be the "personality of your boat". As mentioned earlier I just put my throttle down a little farther to get her kickin' then I back off as needed. A little more juice may be all you need. As another example if I'm idling I have to put it back in neutral for a split second and then hammer down when I want to run.
Good idea is to run down the checklist previously posted as well to take care of problems before they become bigger.

Well, the problem might have been deiscovered. He has had the boat about a month or two. He has been out about 10 times. The last trip out this beeping noise started as we were running. Yesterday, the boat started beeping more and more. He ran by the place he got it and the service guy said "have you checked the oil lately?" The answer was nope! He got home and the engine was a little dry on oil. Maybe that was why it was stalling when put in gear. Time will tell. Thanks for all the great suggestions. If that didn't do it, we will start looking at each suggestion one by one! Thanks again.
