I have a 1985 Evinrude 25 horse. It ran fine one day. The next time I tried it, it was hard to start and did not run very smoothly. After I shut it off, it would not start. I got it started again and died as I was going across the lake. I cannot get it started now but it will pop sometimes through the exhaust. I put new spark plugs in, has good spark. I put gas in cylinder but it doesn't fire. <br /><br />Any help would be appreciated - thanks.

Howdy, Catfish.<br /><br />First, pull the flywheel and confirm that the key hasn't sheared. <br /><br />Then go to www.outboardrepairs.com and look up wont start. Lots of good troubleshooting advice there.<br /><br />Let us know what you do and how it turns out.<br /><br />Good luck. :)
