    1996 Evinrude Vindicator 200hp--engine keeps quitting on start-up

    If you want to gently poke something up there your most likely not going to hurt anything, if it unplugs something you will need to remove the carbs and clean/rebuild or if you do my test it might lead you on to the oil problem. Check or discover, diagnose, fix....move on. I wish I could...

    New motor!

    I have an e-tec....because I fish and boat mainly in Puget Sound (don't know where that is? Look it up, Puget Sound in Washington state) and the Pacific Ocean I mainly troll with my big motor. I always have a "kicker" next to the big motor just in case the ocean wants to slam me into big jagged...

    2001 Ficht 150 Evinrude

    Check valve issue would explain it, did you flush it out with some simple green or other de-greaser? Maybe it's just slow to drain out and sticking to existing carbon. How does the motor run?

    New motor!

    Hopefully it's a tame river, wouldn't want to rely on that little beauty in a " hey I think we are going over the falls" condition! Smaller size craft I hope ?

    Help identifying this carburetor.

    Looks like a dirty, old, corroded motor. Carbs are cheap, very easy to buy a parts motor for $100....easy peasy. Your going to need one.

    I don't drink alcohol either but when working on these older motors I think about drinking again, especially when I snap off a stainless steel bolt. I do sniff ether from time to time and that seems to help! I look forward to monitoring this thread. 😎

    Also, A and W root beer is great but something with 6 percent alcohol is better when working on old motors. Fuel tank is not in a "run" position. Water heater is missing expansion tank....house may flood soon. All free advice, no Venmo needed!

    Looks like it was overheated once or twice. Pull rope out of recoil, inject wd 40 in recoil and work it free. Large gear on recoil is an old man arm breaker. Poor design in my opinion.

    Purchase or borrow a compression tester. Do test. Go from there. Even old, used, abused motors can run but be careful with this old girl. She might lift your wallet. Good luck.

    1996 Evinrude Vindicator 200hp--engine keeps quitting on start-up

    Electrical parts cleaner in the key slot opening? NO. test primer solenoid. Turn key with cowling off and push it in. Should here click, otherwise jump it at the motor with 12 volts. If it doesn't click keep testing or take it to a shop. Fuel should be in the carbs. Fill with fuel again, try to...

    Another puzzling statement, "Then, suddenly, I could hear gas making it to the carburetors, and the bulb got really tight and stiff. I'm told that is a known bulb defect of some sort."

    That's my guess. Check for 2 stroke oil in carbs.
