    Evinrude 40 runs then cuts out.

    Hi guys on my 1976 evinrude 40hp when i start it it runs for about 5 seconds then slowly starts to die and fuel fires out of the carb, sounds to me like it flooding itself. Would the cause of this be a float issue as i think the float isnt in exactly top condition. If not what else?

    Evinrude 25...

    Hi guys, My 1998 evinrude 25 (BE25ELECE) wont start. It is spinning over fine and every about 10 minutes it will fire and cough. It ran for about 5 seconds but i couldnt get to the throttle in time to keep it. I think the electric primer may be a fault as this activates like a choke? Any ideas?
