I just bought a 89. 140hp Evinrude. I just installed it in my 1990 sea nymph. I dony know much history of the motor. I checked the compression before o bought it. All the cylinders were around 120-125. I took the boat out today. It started right up and idled fine. When I would give it full throttle it would begin to accelerate. Then it would start to cut out. Sometimes it would even die. I put new fuel lines and fuel filters. Also a new fuel water separator. I disconnected the VRO. My tank is already mixed from my previous motor. I?m going to check the new fuel lines for leaks. I tried squeezing the ball while accelerating. It did not help. Anyone have any suggestions?
