I have a 1992 60hp Evinrude that ive been trying to get up and running.
1. Wouldnt crank, replaced starter...fixed problem.
2. Intermittent spark / No spark on #2....replaced power pack...fixed problem.
3. After it runs on the water for about 3-5 min's, it loses power and seems to go into S.L.O.W. mode...replaced thermostat and impeller...DID NOT fix problem.
********** The Cooling Bypass Was Done Correctly A Long Time Ago ***********
I dont know exactly what the RPM's are because i do not trust my tach, since it shows a reading when the boat is turned off...although it seems pretty accurate while running...im just guessing. Ive yet to run it completely wide open, but going pretty fast tach would show 4000rpm at what i considered a pretty good speed...would take it up to 5000 as well for testing purposes, but never wide open....then when it loses power it wont really go past 2000rpm. Turn the boat off for about 5 or 10 minutes, then it will go again for a few minutes before you lose power again.
We tried unplugging the temp sensor (the wire right beside the thermostat) but there wasnt really any change in the situation.
Also, i meant to put the boat in neutral and see if it would rev up when ever we would lose power, but i didnt think of it at the time.
Does anyone have any suggestions? Is it the temp sensor? Is there another sensor it could be?
Thanks
