I have '90 rude 175 that is hard to start hot or cold. It will idle for bout 10 seconds then die like you killed the ignition, the primer bulb is still hard. It will also die under any acceleration forward or reverse. Plugs looked good, have'nt done spark test but will. during startup the starter kicks out at any sign of starting, is this normal when engine rpm passes starter rpm? any help would be appreciated.

Bad news. Cleaned carbs, didn't need it. Ran compression 2 cylinders at 100 the rest at 80 and below to 55. Not good. Good news. All the wires were jumping fire hot and blue. Where now? Ring city?
