I am happy to have found such an awesome site! Here is my problem. My Dad has always had problems with the idle on our 1984 evinrude 140 from the day he purchased it brand new. We were always told that you have to warm the old 2 strokes up really good but I dont think it ever sat and ideld with the little idle bar all the way down for more then a minute or two in its life. Anyways, It always ran well when in use. Lately it has been very sluggish and stalling during use. We slowly made our way home last night. I think its time for some new plugs, plug wires, and some sea foam in the tank. I think I also need a new battery or perhaps a starter as its not catching the motor on every turn of the key. Any ideas on what this starting problem could be would also be a huge help. Anyways, my local dealer has the new plugs in stock but no wires. After calling around it sounds like there is no spacific set of wires for this model but just individual plug wires and boots. My boat is at the cabin (an hour away) and I would like to know if I can just buy some individual aftermarket marine plug wires for this motor?
The model number is E140TLCRD
Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks a million!
