    2nd part of documenet 🔥 Most likely causes (in order) 1) Distributor cap is leaking or internally shorted (MOST COMMON) Even if it looks “okay,” it can still fail electrically. What happens: High voltage enters cap → instead of going to plug terminals → it tracks to ground inside the cap Signs...

    Sad boater here is an opinion, unbiased even if repetitive...from an intelligent source As you go down the list you will see a simple test as i suggested on the "non cranking test" as you aling rotor to outbound plug wire... and fire the amplifier manually with a ground tap. If i read...

    sad boater ... just keep in mind that voltage readings are subjectives sometimes. Seeing 11.8 volts gives you the measured volts at the specific point yet the more critical thing is to have enough amps to drive the component in need of energy (power=watts= volts & amps). if for some...

    good or not here is one suggestion... disconnect the pulse wire from the points to the amplifier Position the rotor to fire on one of the 2 plugs coils DO NOT CRANK the engine just leave the rotor pointing on one position. turn key ON... confirm the amplifier is getting good B+...

    1968 version ?? in referrence to these "options" keep in mind anything affecting B+ fed to the amplifier is susceptible of interring with spark generation.. resistive points, loose -chaffed wires anything from battery B+ to amplifier..... don't mean to send you of a goose chase...

    as a last resort and based on my own headnocks may I suggest you put this aside for a few days...if not a week and start with a new look at things . Seems fuel flow issues are not involded in the problem you stated u had good sparks at the main coil now (progress !) and the problem seems...

    Old 4hp Evinrude takes a nap

    105 is more than most of my oldies....it should run .what have you done to the rest of the engine we do not know about. did you service all the electrical stuff or at least peak under the FW post some pics and state the MDL # !!! guessing won't fix it.

    Evinrude 50 4 stroke 1999 been setting, need to restart suggestions/ guidence

    first thing is to get a manual and compare results to specs. it may flag a problem more than swapping or guessing but... ex: see sect 3.59 on injector electricaland physical tests and..NOID lamp checks download this manual...

    fwiw from an intelligent source... things to reverify .... If it fired briefly right after the new amplifier was installed, then died and now won’t restart, the most likely causes are: Most likely causes 1. Loose / bad electrical connection (very common) After changing the amplifier: a...

    spray some fuel in the carb while it cranks... if it fires up you have a fuel flow issue ... cylinder (s) not receiving fuel. the very worst possibility is that an electrical problem is killing the amplifier (coil) .If so the cause must be found before invetsing more $$$

    1987 50hp Evinrude E50TLCUD Thermostat Replacement

    Those power packs seem to be a frequest suspect...maybe heat related.. when the problem comes up you could try a freeze spray to see if cooling a specifc component suddenly clears thins up. Cheaper than guessing or swapping expensive parts. Keyboard air spray at the Dollar store is cheap...

    1987 50hp Evinrude E50TLCUD Thermostat Replacement

    problem of it idling poorly after warming up has never went away idling on all these oldies from cd fd qd etc...relies on drawing (sucking) fuel from the lower carb bowl via a very narrow side channel. Your carb model uses a air "orifice plug" instead of the old easy to adjust pointy...

    comment from an intelligent shource A 1987 Evinrude E50TLCUD bogging down is almost always caused by fuel, air, ignition, or exhaust issues. On that era of 2-stroke outboard, a few causes are especially common: 🔧 Most likely causes 1. Fuel delivery problems (very common) Dirty or clogged...

    1983 Evinrude 15 how to remove drive shaft

    flip the engine upside down an drip some release agent down the shaft to reach the PH let it seep in a few hrs and retry. tapping on the drive shaft from the other end with a wood block/hammer may break a rusty bond in the PH.
