I have a 1995 Evinrude Intruder 150 HP that wont start. Yesterday on the water, it started and ran at low speeds but as soon as I put the throttle
down even a little it would die. It started smoking at the end of the trip before I took it out last night. It should be noted I just bought this boat and the previous owner hadnt run it since April.
Today i put it in the water and it wouldnt turn over. I replaced the spark plugs and noticed that a black tube was disconnected from the top of the carb coming from the front of the motor. I reconnected it to the carb on the left side of the motor (if looking at it from the boat). I tried starting it again and it wouldnt turn over. The oil tank is full and I notice fuel spraying into the carbs. I dont think the motor would have seized up because there is plenty of oil in the tank. Both oil ball and fuel ball squeezes and is hard so it is not a fuel pressure issue. I believe the battery is fine. Any suggestions before I take it to a mechanic?
Thanks,
Adam
