Another question on 1995 16 4.3LX. When shifting from neutral to either first or reverse gear engine would shut down.Tested roller type switch, was closing to late. Replaced it and problem was solved. However, sometimes when going from in gear to neutral engine would slow down considerably and stall. Upping the idle slightly seemed to solve this problem. Have only had boat a month, it has 70 hours on it and am not familar with its characteristics. Looking at schematic it seems cutout switch momentarily grounds ignition to stall engine.Is it normal for engine to slow to almost a stall when going in and out of gear--what is normal??
