Hello Everybody,
I have a question and havent been able to find answer yet through this forum. I am hoping somebody can help me.
Problem, I have a 1996 15 hp Evinrude 2 stroke (Rope Start) Whenever I take my boat out it always runs at 8-10mph (so it says on navi) oh yeah I have 12' Alum. Gregor. So then after going to fishing spot and then shutting off engine and run under trolling motor for about 1/2 hour. I start up motor (1 pull) and runs at 8-10mph I go to next honey hole and same thing. I do this about 6 different times. Always puttering at 8-10mph sometimes 7mph if headed into strong wind. And then......I go to head back to dock after day of fishing 3-4 miles away. I start up motor (a few pulls) and now im jamming across lake at 17-20mph the boat is scooting right along! I run boat for roughly a 1/2 hour excited and happy. I kill motor and start back up. again 17-20mph! So I think hmmmmm maybe whatever problem worked itself out. I start engine back up and head to dock and 8-10mph.
The only thing more frustrating then a crap engine is a engine that teases with a hint at what it can do. Please help if anybody has suggestions? I am not mechanically inclined....If you said its my left blinker fluid mixing into my Johnson rod crank case making a duel pole resistance I would think thats pretty plausible.:redface:
I have checked my sparkies in driveway----both sparkwell
I have heard mention of something called Coil Pack and or Power Pack? could this be problem or should I just dump engine in lake and claim it was stolen? <--------thats a joke.......sorta!
