Question motor stalls when put in gear

I have a 1989 Johnson 60HP VRO motor. In the yard and in the water (in NUETRAL), it runs fine. When I put it in gear it loads up and WON'T throttle up past idle without stalling. I did a compression test and came up with 110 - 115 lbs in all three cylinders. I replaced one of the coils due to no spark. What else should I try? It's oil INJECTED but the previous owner said I should add oil to the fuel anyway just to be safe, could it be that I added too much?

Check your plugs. My guess is they're fouled badly because of all the extra oil.
