I recently purchased a aluminum boat with a 175 evinrude Ocean Pro outboard. Started it this morning on a set of muffs and let it idle for a few minutes and all seemed okay. Then ran it down to the lake and started it up again. It idled down smoothly and I put it in gear and started to advance the throttle. It came up on plane nicely, but after about 15 seconds it just died and I could not get it restarted. It seemed to have a good flow from the pee-hole, especially at higher RPM. The fuel bulb remained hard so I believe the fuel pump is working. I removed the fuel strainer on the engine and it was free of debris. When I squeezed the bulb i got a good shot of fuel at the strainer so I know the primer bulb is good. Any ideas as to what may be shutting this thing down.
Thanks to all responders.
