I have the same motor ,mine was doing fine .then all of sudden it will only run on the starting fluid .like it doesn't get the gas coming to it .and I know the fuel and tank are clean and fresh
Yes and I started it 2 days after.. now I replaced the ignition switch ,and it was doing fine and now it quit firing and I had to cut the wire again.thinking I just might make my own kill switch
Yeah I actually put water in and got under to find the problems.now when I got ready for a test to the lake my motor won't stay running,can only get. It to start with starting fluid. Have fresh gas ,was running fine.
Whats best way to check for leaks when you cant see under the floor because of the foam in bottom of boat? Im thinkin gradually fill with water and look underneath
I cut it on to of motor area where it already had a frayed spot before it goes into power pack .I'm assuming it is in the control box too.since I had to recover it out of the water recently.im thinking new ignition switch
85hp evinrudeOK was having firing problems cut the kill switch wire .got great fire.now when it starts its very fast idle and the idle lever does not makes a difference no matter where I move it .and to kill it I've been having to full choke it
