Wet or dry would give indications on where to look I had originally notice that you weren't setting the high idle before starting so possibly a flooding condition or spark is your problem. Spark plugs can tell a story.

Have you tried pumping the primer ball when this condition exists? What do your spark plugs look like when all this is happening?

Take the male barbed adapter off off the block that the tell tale hose goes to. Start it ...if it's still dry and you think the impeller and kepper key is in correctly then your most likely plugged up somewhere.

Yeah, an old employee of mine went north and became an operator for Chevron up there, equipment and trucks could never be shut off outside.

An excellent excuse to add more!

Sometimes people don't read the dates. Just start a new thread listing your motor model number, what the problem is and what you've read. Best way to get information.

And once again this thread also demonstrates that old school mechanics are set in their ways. I know they have bushings...and I also know that 24 to 1 is lots of oil. Much much better oil. Again, I stand by my statement that kbait gives excellent advice and I'm sure he's done it. Of the...

Rectifier converts ac to DC power to charge the battery...running it unhooked will fry it. It does not affect it's ability to run though. You need a DVA adapter to test correctly but if everything checks out ohm wise replace the pack as directed.

Kbait's original suggestion will work fine. Never seen him give out any bad advice. With today's oils, I'm running all my older 2 strokes with less than their original suggested oil ratios with 0 failures. This boat, with it's 1985 30 HP johnson, I've been running 75/1 for 3 years. Not...

Got confused with another thread...you have one power pack so that could be your problem. Rule out the stator/charge coil/chaffed wires then pp is the issue assuming all connection have been gone through. (Corrosion) Salt water motor?

You made this statement..." my wire colors do look correct " max rules has color charts but you already must know. Continuity test on wires should come out with 0 resistance. Resistants for your stator coil will be listed online. All the ignition systems can be tested but the power pack. If...

Sounds like it could be a bad wire...time to do some continuity testing. Wire or stator is my guess.

Fuel issue, low idle circuit. Full speed that circuit is bypassed and run though the main jet. You most likely missed something cleaning the carbs.

Should be set higher than that if there's no load. Possibly could be your problem.

OEM parts? What rpm are you setting it to? In gear and under load?

Pictures?

This is your assembly, which part number do you need?

Didn't need to....the stopper broke at the flywheel. The parts your talking about are unnecessary for operation of the outboard, strictly a safety device

I have a 1991 Evinrude 8 HP that I bought brand new and that broke twenty years ago. I like it because lots of times I back off beaches in windy weather and I can start it in reverse.

All great info, thank you.
