E-TEC 25 SUDDENLY STOP
A few months ago I bought a E-tec 25HP (manual start). At first time, I tried it at home and it worked perfectly: start at first rope pull, check the gear box forward and reverse and everything was perfect.
Last week, I install the motor on my dinghy and give it at try on the water. Start at first rope pull and undertook a test drive. Running at middle speed and about 5 minutes later, the ENGINE SUDDENLY STOP.
At first I thought he had hit a wood or something, but no. Simply turn off. We check oil, fuel, alarm LED’s and everything was ok. Also, the propeller was free.
When trying to turn it back on pulling the starter rope was tied (the flywheel was block, like when you try to start the engine with the gear in forward (it was in neutral). We try about 10 times until suddenly loosened the flywheel. We try start the motor again a couple times and the engine start. All alarm LED’s was ok.
We put forward and started traveling back to the dock, when suddenly, the engine suddenly stops again. This time, we spend more that ½ and hour to try to start the engine, without success.
Any idea?
