    How can I start a new thread?
    While my 1961 Pearson Triton's A4 is currently starting and running fine in neutral when I go to put it into gear - forward or reverse - it promptly stalls.

    I assumed it might be a reversing gear issue - But the reversing gear seems to be working okay - forward goes into detente, and I can use my hand crank to turn the motor together with the prop shaft over without too much difficulty. If I put the gearshift into neutral, then I can turn the engine over, but the prop doesn't move.

    Today I rebuilt the carb, thinking it might be a clogged main jet, and in fact it now idles more smoothly. However, when I go to put it into gear, it still stalls...

    Earlier I checked compression with finger over the spark plug hole test - all 4 cylinders seemed fine.

    Ideas?

    Thanks,
    Harris
