" I'm having some problems
" I'm having some problems with my 1985 Evinrude 70 hp after having the power head rebuilt. It runs great at first for however long I have it going. After stopping, however, it loses all power and cannot throttle up. Just for giggles, the last time it happened, I pushed in the choke, and the rpm's shot up. There is a constant stream of water comping out of the "peep hole", so I don't think it's overheating (the water pump and imeller were replaced during the spring). I'm inclined to believe it's the fuel pump or a bad carb rebuid ( i rebuilt the carbs last summer). This same problem happens with both the boat's internal tank and a 6 gallon tank and different connecting hoses. Any insight would be greatly appreciated. i checked th ecompression (110 psi on all three cylinders) and spark (jumped about a 1/2" gap). "
