Hello,
I have twin 1995 Evinrude Ocean Pro 150hp. Been on it maybe two times a week this season and all has been running great. Went out last night and the Starboard engine didn't want to start. It would begin to turn over then sounded like the starter was just spinning with no combustion. Other engine is running fine at this point and still is so I don't think it is a gas problem, both bulbs firm as well. I was able to get it to start with it in nuetral and throtled up but it would stall when I backed it down to idle. Tilted it up for 5 minutes then tried it again and it started. Let it run for 2 minutes then shut it down to put cover back on and restarted fine. Ran about 5 miles then sat for 2 hours and when I tried to restart it all it did was spin, no sounds from combustion. Where to start? Power Pack, starter, spark plugs, carbs?
Also, when I turn the key to crank it I can smell fuel so I think it is getting some.
Thanks,
JPA
