    Engine sneezes on start, runs for a few on idle, then shuts off

    Read above again and it should make sense. A lean sneeze or if it's running lean is hard on a 2 stroke motor. Not sure it is, just going by your explanation. The motor will look like it's running rich (smoking) because of you trying to start it with no spark/fouled plugs. Exhaust housing is...

    Engine sneezes on start, runs for a few on idle, then shuts off

    Usually a sneeze means a lean situation which in this case could mean a dirty carb. I believe the stuff your seeing in the bucket is from unburnt fuel when you were trying to start it earlier with bad wiring and fouled plugs. It should clear up once you take the motor out for a good spin...

    Choke harness fried on ‘86 Evinrude

    If it doesn't work out, there shouldn't be a reason this won't work. Just a moment switch...

    Choke harness fried on ‘86 Evinrude

    Check that....unavailable. weird usually when they put a price on it it's available. Not in this case. You will have to make your own.

    Choke harness fried on ‘86 Evinrude

    Part number 36. You might also need 38 and 34 unless you can save the old one.

    Choke harness fried on ‘86 Evinrude

    Is that all back at the motor? Hard to tell from picture. If so are the wires ok at the control box? You have a primer not a choke so you obviously have a short somewhere. I see replacement wires online but pricey. Also, need to know which wiring assembly. Post model number of outboard.

    Water coming out mid section

    Not sure everyone knows that first picture is a video. Also, not sure why water is coming out there but tell tale seems to be pumping well.

    Water coming out mid section

    Well it ran fine and then it didn't.... Should be easy to diagnose. First check for GOOD spark. Then I'm assuming you might have used old fuel or questionable fuel. Remove carb and clean/rebuild carb.

    Inboard fuel tank clogged filters and pickup tube

    Not sure I would do this recommendation but years ago when I was young my boat stopped running and I noticed my primer bulb was caved in. My brother and I removed the pickup tube and noticed the screen all plugged up. Since I was running a large size spin on fuel filter we decided to just remove...

    Deformed water pump housing, sign of overheat?

    I agree with the above responses....looks fine or normal wear. Replace and test for temperature.

    No start

    I think what your saying is it's turning over now but it won't start....or run. Correct? Next thing to check for is a spark....do you own a spark plug tester? It's possible you haven't fixed all of the wires.

    1959 35HP Frothy Caramel Colored Oil

    You might find something but overall that's normal....sometimes grayish emulsified oil and water and sometimes black slightly burnt unburnt oily looking 2 stroke fuel. People write in all the time saying "Hey, what's this ......" There are as even a recent post from a guy that had it all over...

    1972 Evinrude 25202r compression

    Mid grade is fine. Ethanol is not, especially when storing. Any carburator is picky....most likely you will need to clean the carb. Do the fuel test first and that should tell the story.

    1972 Evinrude 25202r compression

    80's low in my book but might not explain why it's not running. What gas are you buying? And could that vacuum hose be the culprit? See any decaying matter coming off of it? Try a little spray bottle with 50 to 1 fuel in it, spray some in the carb and see if it starts. If it does than you know...

    Choke solenoid or primer solenoid

    You might have to drill and tap a nipple for the primer hose. Look at the other carbs and see if they have a nipple from the primer.
