To start it, I have to put it in neutral, then push the button on the side of the shift lever and push it forwards so it starts about 2500 rpm
It idles about 900 rpm and tends to quit when i put it in neutral.
If I put it in gear slowly it usually quits.
If I put it in gear quickly it runs, but will not go over 3000 rpm
Any help would be appreciated.

Sounds like you might have a dirty carb. Also you may need to adjust the shift linkage when its hitting the neutral cut off switch.
