Sorry man but i said does not start SOMETIMES, is that in there, that is why I asked here to see if anybody had seen this.
How do you connect a OMC ignition switch to the harness below that I got with the motor? I cannot find a switch that that plugs into?
Thanks for the reply, and to tell the truth I was afraid I may have done that. You mean the powerpack (fried) I presume..
The motor did not come with the starter switch, but did come with the harness with an orange tipped connector.
All start switches I see are the ones like the pic attached...
I bought a used 2003 Johson 90 OIS 2000. It ran in the video I saw of it, and It started and ran perfectly when i picked it up.
It did not some with an ignition switch, but started and ran by touching the red and Yellow/red wires.
Stopped by touching the two magenta's and black.
I then cut...
My 93 200 has even 110 PSI compression on all 6. Yes I know its a bit low but it is not a race boat.
Has good spark on all cyl, (spark tester)
Has brand new CDI Timing base, Stator and Power pack.
Newly glued magnets
stop circuit disconnected
newly rebuilt carbs
good fuel and oil
Battery is big...
1993 Evinrude 225
I have checked the switch wiring over and over again, I have a spare harness and switch, same thing.
I have 12V to the primer wire when the switch is in Run without the key being pressed in.
I have checked both switches with the multi meter and there is zero continuity...
So I have this 2 cyl 8hp 4 stroke electric start outboard
Starts and idles good,
But when I give it gas it sputters and sounds like it drops down to one cyl,
If is stay on the throttle it give short bursts of sounding right and has power, for like 1.2 to 1 or 2 seconds.
i dont know if this...
Hi. I have just bought a boat with an Evinrude 200XP ve200sletc.
Boat ran but was leaking fuel from the throats of some carbs.
I have put new carb kits in all resetting the floats as I went.
Now the engine will start after pumping primer and pushing key, will keep running if key is pressed...
