" Hello to all,
I've got a 1968 33hp Evinrude. Great motor, usually runs great, but
twice now have had trouble. Set up is this:
13 gallon tank with 8 foot OMC hose, fuel at
24:1 mix. Engine starts fine, halfway across the
lake at wide open throttle it cuts down to about
25% throttle without my consent... It doesn't run
rough, just at a lower rpm/throttle. I squeeze the
fuel bulb and find it's maybe 'half hard' if there
is such a way to describe it. After pumping the
fuel bulb for a minute or so it perked up to full
throttle for a few minutes only to happen again.
This time, fiddling with the fuel bulb does nothing. I head for the dock, it stalls frequently
as I idle waiting for my turn, finally I just shut
it off and paddle in place and back to the dock.
Any suggestions?
Thanks to all in advance....
