Hi all,
I have an Evinrude 150, carbed, model# E150EXEU, 97 model. It usually starts ok and runs fine at mid and wot. It's a little hard to start cold, but then idles fine. The problem comes after it has been running for at least 20-30 minutes and then shut off for the same amount of time. When I crank it back up, it won't idle. It spits and sputters and dies. I have to rev it hard out of gear, and then when I finally do put it in gear I have to give it gas quick or it will die. This is bad when trying to get off the beach around other boats in the current and wind, or at the dock. I thought it was from having the motor tilted up so far at the beach, but I have discovered it does it even if I don't raise the motor at all - like at the dock. After it gets going, it runs great. If it only sits for a minute or two, it idles fine. If it sits for 30 mins, it will not idle.
It has new plugs, a new fuel pump, new fuel filter, the tank is clean, the anti siphone valve works properly, and the gas is fresh. THe bulb is usually firm if not rock hard.
Any help is appreciated!
