Just bought the boat with this 1982 50 HP Evinrude and took it on the sea for few times.Everithing was ok until the engine suddenly died.
The boat came with an old metalic tank which I noticed that had debride and water inside.I replaced the tank with new one, drained the lines. Tried to start again but no results.The spark plugs where not the ones that the manufacturer recomand therefore I replaced with corect ones. I've check the fuel pump and everything is ok,rebuild the carbs ( I've noticed that fuel was leaking from the trouts of the carbswhen cranking). Tested the spark with spark plugs grounded on both cylinders and it has spark.It starts for 2 sec and then dies
