I have previously posted about my 1997 Evinrude 40 hp (e40tleuc),but I still haven't been able to get it running.
It has now started and run until I turned the water on to the muffs. That little bit of load made it quit running and now refuses to restart.
I have:
Replaced all fuel lines except the one from the tank.
Had the carbs professionally rebuilt.
Checked the spark air gap which is good to 7/16" and set the correct spark plugs to .030.
Installed new fuel pump (model with two nipples).
Checked the primer solenoid for clicking and replaced the top end parts.
Set the various linkages to OMC specs per their video.
Gas is fresh and oil is at 50:1 ratio.
Considered pulling the flywheel to check the key, but from watching the YouTube video I am certain I would screw up more things than it's worth.
Im handy enough, but I don't know about boat motors except what you guys have been kind enough to share.
Local dealer is busy until October.
Any thoughts would sure be welcome. Thanks.
