    1994 30hp won’t stay running

    Turns out it was a dirty carb. Pulled it off to check reeds and it looked iffy so I broke it down and cleaned it. I had a gasket kit that came with the boat 20 years ago so I used that. Put a new top and gasket on the electric primer as well. Running as strong as it ever has. Thanks for the help.

    I was able to do a compression test…100 psi in both cylinders. Spark jumped 1/2” both leads. Could this be a timing issue?

    1994 30hp won’t stay running

    Manual fuel pump does go hard. Will have to get test device for spark and check gap jump. Will check compression but this issue just materialized overnight. I’ve installed 3 or 4 impellers…never over heated it.

    1994 30hp won’t stay running

    J30eerm I’ve had this outboard for 20 plus years and it’s been bulletproof until now. It’s struggling to start and will run for about 15 seconds and die. Putting it in gear it dies as soon as I advance the throttle. Fuel is good. A shot of starter fluid or fuel will not keep it trying to...
