First i would like to say hi to all I am new to the forum and seeking some help any would be appriciated.
I have a 1980 50 HP evinrude E on my bowfishing boat I took it out this weekend duckhunting and it ran great to my duck hole about 3 miles up river.
when it was time to leave i fired the boat up and headed out well i got the boat up on plane and it fell flat on its nose like it was shut off. I started back up and ran for about a min or so and died again. it would fire up on fast idle then die. it went on like this for a few then it fired up and ran for about 3 or 4 min then it acted like it ran out of gas ( full tank of 50.1 mix ) it then would not start. I got it home and it started up then died. I had a similar problem last summer when it would run at 3/4 throttle great then it would start lugging down i would back the throttle off and it would run good, then i would take it back up to 3/4 and it would run for a while then start lugging down
does anyone have any suggestions?
thanks
