I bought a little boat last year with an Evinrude outboard E40RCOB of 1985.
At the begining, no trouble, the engine was just fine.
After few weeks, no spark, I asked to a pro to take a look at my engine and the power pack has been replaced by a new one, but it crashed again because all wires from the stator plate were too old and in too bad condition.
So I had to change the coil and sensor too, with a new power pack.
Everything seemed to be right with this new ingnition system, the engine starts again without trouble.
But : on the water, loaded, after few minutes, my engine lost his power. 5 knots max.
So I decided to clean the carburators by myself, and bought two carburator repair kits to fix it.
After that, it was better, but for only 30 minutes of navigation, and I lost the power again, impossible to take rpms.
No trouble in neutral position, or when I clean it in my garden, but it's not the same story on the water.
After all this time, I'm lost because I put a lot of money to change all ignition parts (coils, power pack, spark plugs, wires)
I also changed the entire gas circuit (carb and pump repair kits, hoses, fuel connectors, fuel tank).
Same issue...
It seems something happens when the engine is hot, I don't know.
Many thanks for your help.
