Ok, to stat off with what i have is a 1994 evinrude 140. model E140TLERR.
About 2 years ago, when i first purchased the boat and motor, the engine completely let go. I had it rebuilt, it seemed to never be right again. Through some crappy advise from West marine and several others this engine is about to go to the scrap yard.
Stated off with water pump issues, replaced that several times due to Sierra parts, which i will never use again...This has been resolved now.
Now onto the running issues,
The last time i had the boat on the water, it went to running like complete garbage. Upon inspection, it was only running on 1 cylinder. So through advise from others, i rebuilt all 4 carbs. Cleaned them out real well, put it back together, still runs like garbage. So today after not dealing with the boat i pulled it back apart again to examine the reeds. All the reeds seem to be fine, no chips cracks or gouges. But they are metal, not like the fiber reeds ai am used to dealing with. So now i am completely lost.
The local shop wants $1200 to even look at it. I feel this is way out of line.
In the process, all electronics have been replaced, after it sat for a couple months while i replaced the floor in the boat.
CDI, regulator etc.
Any help would be GREATLY appreciated!!!!
