Hey all,
So after fixing up this outboard by myself and youtube help, i finally got it running after 2 years. Have been on the water for around 7 weekends now and finally after trusting the motor decided it was time to go out further to the islands and just getting off the boat ramp (extremely slow moving) it died, sat there on anchor for around an 1 hr got it to start on many occasions and went to max revs but would last for a second and die instantly and completely stop. Went home after that and took off carburettors thinking it was a fuel problem, they were immaculate for its age not a bit of gunk in there anyway cleaned them all out and whacked them back on there then went at the fuel pump, was good condition but ordered a replacement gasket and whatnot kit so fixed that today and put it back on and still got it running, but more shaky, smokey and just out of wack then usual, went to high ish revs on neutral and died but could sit at idle for around 1 min then put it in forward and went to max throttle but couldn't handle it and slowly quieted down and stopped. Not sure what this could be as its getting perfect fuel up to carbs i believe. Please all information is requested, thanks in advance all, Cheers.
