You probably have a bad shift cable.

I have a 140 hp merc that has always started and ran perfect. Last week
it started dying when I decelerated or shifted into nuetral. It still
runs fine if I can get out of nuetral and into gear before it dies I
replaced both fuel filters, plugs and points and it still dies when I
shift to nuetral. ANyone have an idea what could be causing this.
