Hello all out there. im looking for some advice on what could be wrong with my outboard. it only fires when it wants to and when it does it dies after about 4 - 5 seconds. i have a 1986 55hp evinrude.
so far iv'e cleaned both carby's, put in a new diaframe in fuel pump. new plugs new fuel lines and also a new line between tankand motor.
Im just going through trying to elimenate things
it has good spark and from wat i can tell its getting fuel to the carbys and there working right.
i have an old metel fuel tank witch doesnt have a breather screw on it.
im just wondering if any one out there knows wat else i could try.
am also wondering if the screw on the fuel pump has to set a certin way
ive also put clear fuel lines in and from wat can see the fuel is flowing well.
to me it seems like when it fire's it runs with a little rev then dies out as if its starvin its self of fuel. if i give it revs when it starts it seems to run longer but still dies.
