Ok guys, here's my latest problem with my 98 Evinrude 115.<br />It's becoming harder and harder to start. Once it does start, I have to let it idle for quite some time before I can put it in gear, or it will bog dow and die when I give it some gas. After I let it idle, it seems to clear it's self and it will run just fine. If I stop for a few minutes, I have to start all over again, very hard to start and let it idle for awhile. <br />I've changed the VRO pump, rebuild the carbs, and the primer bulb gets stiff after a few pumps. I've also changed all the plugs. <br />Any suggestions would be helpful.
