So the last few times I've been out I'll take off and the engine will suddenly lose power for about a half second like it lost spark then immediately recover and be just fine. This only happens once or twice a day. Today it happened while idlin and the motor completely died. Did that a couple...
So I got the old Evinrude 15 going. Having just a little trouble getting it to idle. The Idle speed adjuster on the side isn't attached to anything!!! It idles just fine when I hold the throttle just above bottomed out, but when I pull it all the way down, it sputters and dies.
This is the...
My father in law told me if I could get his boat up and running, I could duck hunt with it anytime I want. It was fixed up at the dealership 2 years ago but has sat for about 1.5 years. Are these motors generally pretty reliable and where should I start with getting it running? Carb kit and new...
My tilt/trim has an intermittent problem of going slow on the way up. The motor is only 4-5 months old, and isn't leaking. Fluid is full. Happens on all trim switches. Here is a video. You can hear it going up fine then slow way down. http://youtu.be/qjKACfdap_A
Today I noticed that my rpms were going to 0 when I gave it throttle. When I let up, it would go back around 2000. Then I looked at my fish finder and noticed my voltage was staying at 12.2 while the engine was running and didn't change at WOT. Is this a voltage regulator/rectifier problem?
Took the boat out on Saturday and it ran great as usual. The only thing different is that I idled the entire time the last 2 trips I made. I still have the vro and the pump is only 2 years old. Could this just be unburned oil from idling so much?
Noticed some large cracks and a little fuel coming out of my carbs. What could be causing this? Do I just need to replace the bowls? It's a V4, so I'm assuming I should go ahead and get 4?
Yes, I've read and followed the cold start procedures. It turns over and fires then dies immediately. I can turn it over 12 times like that with some turnovers not firing, then all of the sudden it'll fire up and run like a champ for the rest of the day. Once it's fired and run that first time...
We just installed a new fuel pump trying to fix the no oil light coming on and motor not staying alive. Pump is working now, but won't idle. We have to push the gas to get it to stay running. It's missing on the bottom two cylinders. We unplugged them and it would still run with no change...
I have a 1997 Johnson Fast strike 115 J115GLEUC. I've had my boat in the shop for a week and I call to check on it today and the guy says they fired the mechanic yesterday. So, I need to know what the part number is for a fuel pump that fits so I can bypass the OMS (VRO). I'm sick of waiting and...
Today, I tried to take off after the boat had run perfect all morning and it bogged down and died. I noticed the kill switch had come off. Put it back on and still wouldn't go. It would start and die immediately. Got it home on the muffs and after sitting a while it started and smoked like...
Got back from an afternoon of fishing and as I pulled up to the ramp, suddenly my tilt/trim wouldn't work either direction. After trailering the boat I had to get the assistance of a very nice man to help me lift it up with the manual release. The relays are only 6 months old because I had a...
My t&t won't go down sometime. When I trim it up, sometimes the motor makes a "winding down" noise instead of the abrupt stop that it should. Every time after it does that, it won't trim down anymore. I have to trim it up in small increments until it doesn't do that noise, then it will go down...
I have been having problems with my motor. After warming up it would drop a cylinder or two at wot then kick back in and out sporadically. I put a new powerpack on but it didn't fix the problem. My coils had small cracks in the bottom of them so I bought a couple of new ones. I only have one day...
I've put a new powerpack on my 97 115 go trying to fix the problem of cylinders dropping after the engine gets warmed up. Didn't work. So I'm thinking new coils next? When we took the powerpack off I noticed the coils had some indentions and hairline tiny cracks on the bottom. There were also...
