I recently bought a boat with a 95 Evinrude 48 SPL. The problem I'm having is that the engine idles great, but doesn't like to rev above about 2k rpms most of the time. It just bogs and smokes a lot.
I have changed the plugs, changed the fuel, changed the tank and primer bulb and quick fitting, cleaned the carbs, checked the throttle position, and run seafoam through it.
I bought a spark gap tester and set it to 7/16"...it sparks great on idle, but when I rev it and it starts cutting out/bogging the spark becomes less consistent, and dissapears for moments. It does this on both cylinders.
Now that I know it is not sparking properly while revving...does anyone know what electrical component could be causing this? It really seems like it is being electrically rev limited, but I disconnected the temp sensor. I am thinking powerpack or stator...anyone??
Nothing has helped. It doesnt matter if its in gear, in the water, or just in neutral in the driveway. Butterflys open in sync. A little bit ago it started revving great, 5500 rpms, but after about 5 minutes it started bogging again.
If I manually choke it with my hand it just dies. It seems to be running too rich or not burning all the fuel, plugs are wet.
Thank you for your help...
