    Difficulty starting wont idle once warmed up (1985 E25ELCOC)

    Still struggling with my 1985 E25ELCOC outboard. Will not start. Fuel direct into cylinders and no bark. Compression test was 125psi both cylinders. After cranking plugs were wet with fuel, not dripping but definitely present. And spark was still good. An oldtime mechanic friend mentioned that...

    Well the saga continues.. Today’s update: Lower unit back together and installed. All new seals, new water installed. Four tricky parts (at least for me): (1) had to extend my puller to remove the bearing carrier. (2) i made a special puller to remove the shift lever bushing so new seals and...

    Kinda good update: I cleaned up the flywheel and i reviewed the could on the moveable plate. I noticed the 3 screws that hold the charge coil assembly were loose ( remember i put a new charge coil on the motor). I guess i neglected to tighten those screws. Once i tightened them up making sure...

    I pulled the flywheel. Here are some pics: The flywheel key seems fine. At first i thought it was worn, but after looking at the tapered slot in the flywheel i see that it appears to be correct. As i mentioned previously i changed out the charge coil assembly. I believe everything went back...

    A little bit more diagnosis has taken place: (1) verified spark again, nice big blue spark. (2) with dead man clip removed i have mo spark, so this circuit is operational. (3) i got a plastic squeeze bottle and filled it with fresh mixed fuel. I opened the carb butterfly and squirted in the...

    further updates: (1) new spark plugs installed: no start. (2) made sure the kill switch was properly attached up by the throttle box: at first crank it seemed to cough, but nothing after that, so start. (3) removed carb, reviewed my rebuild, found nothing glaringly wrong. float moving freely...
