1993 Evinrude 65 Jet Fuel Problems

[ramprat88]

I have a 1993 Evinrude 65 Jet that I bought new.<br />I had the carburetors rebuilt a couple of years ago (I let it sit to long and they gummed up) <br />The problem I'm having now is the motor is very hard to start. It wants to start but seems to be fuel starved. I have to hold in the choke and hit the throttle to get it going. once it is going it runs like a top idles fine and plenty of top end power. As soon as I shut it off It takes forever to start again even warmed up.<br />I have good pressure at the bulb and new fuel lines and filter Could this be a fuel pump diaphragm problem? <br />Thanx Ramprat

when ever you have to play with the choke to get the motor going it most likely be a carb problem. i leared the hard way that they should be totally rebuilt from the intake manifold foward be very meticilous and thorough and you should be rewarded with trouble free service.
