Repirts your check list looks good, you might as well check the fuel pump while your in there too, they're known to wear out. I had the same issue with stalling going from neutral to fwd with my motor, I never solved it, but to get around it, I goosed the throttle fwd and then back a bit when I got underway (give the folks onboard a heads up), this gave the motor the gas it needed to keep running.
You might also want to try running on an portable tank to rule out any issues with your gas tanks connections.
Another thing I remember is my motor would always run like a top in the driveway, but the quirky things happend when it was in the water under load.
Good luck, these problems are a nuisance, but when the sh&% hits the fan on the water, you are much more prepared.
