I have a 1994 90 Hp Evinrude that starts and runs fine when it is cold but after you have run it a while and stop it it won't start or is very hard to start.
Anyone got any ideas.

What is your re-starting procedure and how long after you shut down are you trying to re-start ??

When this hard starting scenario takes place, remove the spark plugs and check for a strong blue spark that should jump a 7/16" gap. Do you still have this type spark?

If not, disconnect the black/yellow wire that leads from the engine wiring harness to the powerpack, then recheck for spark. If you now have spark, replace the ignition switch.

If still no spark, look closely at the stator under the flywheel. If it is leaking a substance from the rear or forward portion (or both) of it down upon the timer base and powerhead, replace the stator.

Let us know what you find.

I let it sit aout 15 minutes before I tried to restart.
First I tried by just truning the ignition. Whe it didn't start I choked it. Finally I advanced the throttle and it fired but would not run. When I went out the next mroning it started easily after I pumped the gas bulb.
