I bought a used boat last year with a 115 Evinrude. I have 3 reoccurring problems that I would like know what people think. <br /> <br />1) When I try to restart the engine (after it has warmed up) it does not start easily. I don't know if I should choke it or put the throttle in neutral and give it some gas or prime it. It hardly ever starts on the first turn of the key when I restart it. I have no problem starting it when it is cold. <br /><br />2) sometimes when I restart it after it has been running awhile I get a loud solid tone or beep. The manual says it could be overheated or have some fuel restriction but it often stops and the motor runs fine.<br /><br />3) When I finally get it restarted and put it in gear it stalls everytime. when it is running it runs good. Someone suggested setting the idle higher becasuse the "prop wash" is stalling the engine.<br /><br />any thoughts? Your help would be appreciated.

doverboy,<br /><br />Is this a crossflow or a looper? <br /><br />The loopers were 60 degree v-blocks and the c-flows were 90 degree.

When i finally get it restated smoke rolls out of it. I suspect because I just about flood it.

doverboy,<br /><br />I had a c-flow 90 that used to do that. It turned out to be a bad needle/seat. It would allow fuel to puddle in the crankcase.<br /><br />However, what concerns me about yours is the horn. It SHOULD NOT be going off other than the "check" beep. If it were a fuel restiction, one would think it would go off cold too. However, the pump (fuel) may be having a hard time pushing hot fuel through. Does your primer bulb remain hard while all of this is going on?

doverboy,<br /><br />If it weren't for the horn, I would say you were flooding. As I stated before, the horn bothers me.<br /><br />It could be fuel/oil restriction.

Thank you to those who replied. Before I put the boat to bed this winter I will have the local dealer look at it for me. If anyone else has any ideas let me know. I've had a great boating season this year. I hate to see it end.
