My 50hp Evinrude outboard is acting weird. With motor flushers on and running water through the motor, it starts right up and runs like a champ. Today I took it out on the lake and after I got out of the no wake zone I moved the throttle up a bit and it started to rev up then it shut off. Then the motor would not run anymore. If I got it to start it would not idle for more than a second. I could not get it to run at all. No matter the choke position, throttle position. It would not start and run.
Long story short, I got home and hooked up the motor flusher and the thing started right up and ran like a champ again.
So my question is would there be anything different about it running in water as opposed to through flussers that would cause it to not run it the lake?
