I have a 1986 Evinrude 140hp. Ran good first trip of the year. Next trip it ran for about 400 meters then bogged out and quit. Pump up ball... it will start and idle but quits as soon as you give it gas. Hooked up an external tank, same result. Checked fuel line filter, hoses and connections. All seem to be good.

Re: motor quiting

di you check spark? or compression? was it winterized, 99% contaminated carbs. replace all fuel lines with B1 rated alcohol resistant lines, and flush out before reconnecting to carbs. ethanol eats the inside of old lines, and cloggs the carbs.
