Guys,
I've got an elec start 93 Evinrude 25hp that I'm having problems this year getting to start reliably. It has ran great the last two years. Had the motor completely overhauled carb, water pump, fuel pump, and just installed new properly gapped plugs and l/u oil. I'm running 50:1 evinrude oil and seafoam motor treatment. I always ran the gas out of my motor on each trip and used non ethanol w/oil and stabil for insurance. When I replaced the plugs they were pretty fouled, maybe idle got out of wack. Just put it in the tank and got it to start, but had to put my hand on the opening of the carb to starve it out air. Once it turned over it would run at idle then slowly die. After the motor got warm it would run fine w/out spitting and sputtering, but if I ran 3/4 throttle then slowly backed off it would die. Then restarting was an arduous task having to do the hand over the carb thing again. I'm hoping once i get on the lake tomorrow running up and down it for a while might help alleviate my issues.
Any suggestions would be helpful. I am confident in tearing my engine down, rebuilt a couple that have ran fine and still do. Just wanted to see if i'm missing any quick fixes y'all may know.
Thanks- Adam
