Powerpack is the correct part, but the problem was indeed at the powerpack.
Took me a bit to get back to this after being away, but it came down to a loose/corroded ground connection. There was an old rusty star washer stuck to the head there (from before I replaced the powerpack I'm guessing)...
Thank you all. I did buy a new fuel line and connector today, and although the fit seems much tighter, they didn't make a difference either.
In the second video, you're right, I didn't have it wide open. WOT it was still bogging and surging, at 75% it was kind of stuttering/popping so I was...
Thank you. I replaced the plugs already, that was my first guess. I made sure the connections were all tight and the wires looked ok, but I guess you can't always visually pinpoint the problem. Could it be the coil assembly itself? I replaced the power pack last year for an issue I was having...
Update... pulled carb off and sprayed with carb cleaner, disassembled as much as possible, ran wires through all orifices, reassembled, replaced the gasket behind it (was somewhat worn) and tightened everything back down well.
Took fuel pump off too and disassembled/checked parts, no obvious...
Thank you for replying. It did not seem to be running any hotter than normal. That will be my next step, pull the carb, look at all of the fuel related components much closer. I'm not as good with electrical troubleshooting.
Hi all,
Wondering if anyone might have any advice for me. I have a 15HP Evinrude (E15REDS) that started stumbling at WOT last time out a few days ago. I replaced the spark plugs but no improvement. Tonight it was sputtering approaching WOT and then sort of surging when I did get there. Fuel is...
