Hi all,
I did a search and could not find the a similar situation but then again I'm not sure the exact system that's failing on my outboard. The motor is a 1993 Evinrude 40 hp (TE40ELETB). The motor will start and idle with out any problems but when trying to increase the motor past 1800 RPMS with WOT it just bogs down and wont budge past 1800. The motor will never die and decreasing the throttle to try again repeats the same process over and over. Through experimentation I learned that while at WOT and the motor bogging down if I press the key in to choke it, the motor roars to life and will quickly accelerate and increase speed and RPMs. If I continue to press the electric choke in every 1-2 seconds I can maintain the speed and RPM's but as soon as I stop the motor bogs back down to its sluggish 1800 RPMs while still at WOT. Knowing that the motor is starved for fuel, I had a passenger pump the fuel line primer while at WOT and there was no change in the performance as it continued to bog down. Any suggestions or help to pin point down what I should start replacing or cleaning?
Thanks,
Matt
