Thread: outboard issues

There ha go Yammy and Merc! Says it all Suzuki disprins don't count

still got me fucked, might strip it out completely over the weekend and give it a birthday, since the weathers turned to shit now i wont feel as bad wasteing a weekend haha

Gotta be pump, my JOHNSON screwed up $700 for a new one, mine was the over supply of oil! But coming out the exhaust must be pumping straight thru?

Give it a bit of " start ya bastard( no shit its actually called that)" in the sparkplug hole and carby. Pure etha that'll get her humming then quickly chuck it on trademe as mint condish and buy a yamaha

From black to a deep hole

You probily sorted it but it's now fucked because you put a can of shit down the poor things throat

Seems strange that you pumped out the cylinders abit then it started for abit
Pull plugs check for spark
If in doubt replace plugs, they may work ok with no load but when they get compression on them they will faulter, drain all the carb bowls,
Disconnect fuel, and with bowls drained crank her over with no plugs to get all the shit in the cylinders out, check for suck/pull with plugs out while you're there, put the new plugs in, don't over prime it then give it ago, stay away from the either - engines become reliant on it, it also has no lubricating property's for 2-strokes - unless it states it does on the can

There's more shit to check after that

I wasn't meaning to run the motor on eather just get her firing. I race karts and thats exactly what we use when it doesn't crank up.

yeah its like its getting fuel/oil cus its dripping out. ill check spark etc tommorrow its about the only thing i can think of now. cant find a manual on the bloody thing either so thats not helping. still fires once if i leave it for a half hour or so. might need a visit to the outboard doctor.

it never fired on the few squirts of engine start i gave it. ill try draining it out and letting it dry up then re priming it. the plugs are brand new aswell.

Never owned anything else bur Evinrude or Johnson, never had any probs in 30 yrs of owning. Of course there gone now, the motor I have is a 1997 vee 4 last of the big looper motors, owned since 2000. Great motor, guess if I bought a new one these days I'd have to consider my options very carefully!

Sounds like the fuel pump to me. I have a Johnson on one of my boats and that was exactly the issue I had with it. So I put on a new fuel pump not a VRO one and now mix my gas in the tank. have had no more issues and it goes like a dream. On the other boat I have a 1154 Yamaha , it has never let me down.

so after leaving it for a day or 2, the bloody thing fired up first try today....? ill go give it a kane up the river to clear it out and hopefully thats the last time it decides to do that. im thinking i may have flooded it...or something along those lines.

Hmmm, no report yet. Still paddling?

I had a similar problem with my little tidller. Turned out to be the seal on the motor fuel connector. A right pain when having my fist crack with an outboard in a blustery nor-easterly. Thank goodness for those more reliable paddles.

haha ill be making sure that its not going to happen again before i hit the sea. gonna book it into the boat doctor for a check and tune just to be sure.

If it goes now it must have either had a intermittent electrical fault(scary) or the plugs were actually wet with fuel and you flooded it.
A simple check for spark would have told you.

If flooded disconnect fuel and remove all plugs, wind briefly at full throttle no choke, let it rest a few minutes and another brief wind checking plugs are dry and spark then refit and start.
