Hi,

I've just purchased an Evinrude 6 outboard, and I'm having problems starting her. She looks in perfect condition, and looks like she has been very well looked after. I'm not sure what year it was made (not sure how to find out) but I do have the serial number 68B66B B27621 At a guess I would say she is less than 10years old.

I've connected the fuel line, pulled the choke out and moved the shift to the 'start' position, and made sure she is in nuetrel. I've also bought 2 new spark plugs, but she will not start! I'm at a loose end. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Oh, and I'm a complete newcomer to boating.

Regards,
Lee

68B66 would make it a 1978 model. See http://www.skoterskroten.com/img/arsmodellstabell.pdf

Re starting you do not say that you have pumped the priming bulb to fill the carb with fuel, (50:1 2stroke mix!)

If you have and it wont start check for good sparks and if you have those it may well need the carb cleaning.

Go to the Engine FAQs, Lee. Do "Outboard won't start".

Let us know what you find.

Oh, and get a factory Service Manual. http://www.iboats.com/mall/?category...view_id=251023
