I inherited a 1985 Evinrude 6hp, Model E6RCO. The previous owner believes it needs a new waterpump and fuel pump. I tested the fuel pump and it leaks, while not providing a very steady stream. I am currently looking for a new one. I have also checked the carb jets and float valve. All the passages and needles are clean, although I haven't rebuilt it yet.<br /><br />The problem is the motor won't turn over or fire at all. I can prime the carb until the float prevents any more fuel from entering, and a spark test showed both plugs will fire. The problem is, the motor won't fire after many pulls at all. I figured it might have been flooded, but the spark plugs aren't wet during inspection. <br /><br />I am not sure the exact configuration of the kill switch, as there in no C clamp on it. I did however recieve a spark when pulling the starter cable.<br /><br />Does anybody have any clues on where to start. I am already ordering a new fuel pump, and water pump just in case. Mostly, I am worried that the engine won't fire with fuel in the bowl.<br /><br />Thanks for your help.<br />Jake Boomer
