I'm hoping that one of you guys might be able to help me out...
I've got an '87 60hp Evinrude (E60ELCUC). When I got it the VRO had been disconnected. I've been fighting an issue the last year where the motor bogs as I advance the throttle. It idles fine but as you put it in gear and advance the throttle it bogs and dies. If I press in on the choke before it dies it will pick up and run great at open throttle. It does this everytime I go from idle forward. I removed the carbs, cleaned them, and replaced them last year... but it doesn't seemed to have helped. One thing that I did notice while cleaning the carbs is that the spring that gives tension to the lever (throttle ?) on the carb was broken near the end. I checked with local boat dealer and they said you couldn't buy the spring... had to buy a whole new carb. Luckily it was broken near the end so I was able to rework the spring to make it work again.
I thought at one time that maybe it was sucking air through the oil side of the VRO but that seems to be capped of pretty good.
I've got new fuel line from motor to tank, and even bought a new tank just to be sure.
Any ideas???
