    Tohatsu on fire!!

    I recently had a bad ground on the CDI causing a spark. You could hear the spark jumping to ground , and see it Clean the block, bolt, washer, and lead end with a wire brush.

    9.9 Evinrude - Hard Start when warm , but starts fine when cold

    Yes , I forgot to mention it's a 1998. Could there be an internal blockage, old pieces of an impeller, lake debris, calcium buildup, blocking a passage in the head, causing part of the head to overheat.

    9.9 Evinrude - Hard Start when warm , but starts fine when cold

    This outboard is really testing my patience. If there is no spark when warm, what's the cause.

    9.9 Evinrude - Hard Start when warm , but starts fine when cold

    I checked compression when warm. It's the exact same. I'll check the spark when warm and update . Thanks The current CDI , Coils and wires are from an identical outboard with zero issues.

    9.9 Evinrude - Hard Start when warm , but starts fine when cold

    That makes sense. The ball pumps firm, confirmed. That leaves the problem the in the carb. Would a bad gasket (carb to block) cause this as well

    9.9 Evinrude - Hard Start when warm , but starts fine when cold

    Thanks ! I'll try that. You suspect it's lean. My hunch is that the fuel pump needs a rebuild (at least a new diaphragm), or there's a leak somewhere between the carb line down to the fuel connector on the outboard. I've eliminated the tank and hose because they work on identical outboards.

    9.9 Evinrude - Hard Start when warm , but starts fine when cold

    Great suggestion. I have tried cold starting when warm. Few squeezes til firm, full choke, full throttle. It's definitely fuel related since I've ruled out everything else. Either its flooding, or too lean. Eventually after a million pulls ... it eventually always starts (sometimes sooner than...

    Thanks for your reply Flyingscott. I'll run it WOT for a good amount of time. Then kill it. When warm starting, I'll increase the throttle a little by little with no noticeable difference. I'll resort to Choke if it doesn't respond to anything else, and often doesn't make a difference.

    What's the difference between QL77JC4 and the QL82C

    Beautifully explained. Why do they only recommend a hotter plug on the 95's and up.
