Hey all,
Im new to this forum because I have never had any issues with this little outboard. Please help me out.

I have always run it dry of fuel before storing it and it has always started right up and stayed running.

This past weekend I tried to use the motor but after about 15 min of using it the motor died. The plugs look a little we so Im guessing its running a little rich. I have never had to adjust anything on this motor.

Please tell me what to do....

I plan to change the plugs, also how about the throttle adjustment knob where should it be?

Please advise.

changing the plugs is a good idea ..... make sure you have proper ventilation at your fuel tank, no ristriction on your fuel line, fuel filters etc. .... when last did you change the impellar?

Chances are you have run out of luck on the carburetor. After so many years, even running it dry, it will develop build-up. Just get it cleaned and then see what happens.

Thanks guys. The impellor is fine, but the plugs were wet with gas and oil.

I'll be changing them. As for cleaning the carb...I'd rather not, since in my experience I can never adjust them back. :(

At this time, I plan to put the remainder of the fuel I have into my lawnmower and mix up some new gas.

Let me know what you all think?
