Horse.... What is the model number of that 110hp? We need to know the year it was manufactued.<br /><br />(Compression & Spark Test)<br /> <br />1st - Regardless of what problem one might encounter, always start with the basic troubleshooting procedure. Check the compression which should be in the range of 100+ psi.<br /> <br />2nd - With the spark plugs removed, rig up some type of spark tester whereas you can set a gap to be jumped. On the solid state OMC ignition systems from 1973 to the present, set the gap to 7/16". The spark should jump the gap with a strong blue lightning like flame.<br /><br />Let us know what you find in the above areas.<br /><br />What starting procedure are you using? Pump the bulb hard, arrow facing engine? Pushing the key ion to actuate the primer solenoid? Spraying fuel into the carb throats? Give us some detail.<br /><br />Is this engine new to you or have you owned it for some time? Did you manually clean the fixed brass high speed jets? If you remove the bottom side screws from the carb float chamber, does fuel flow out of them when you pump the fuel primer bulb?

Re: 110 evinrude outboard not running

We ended up having to replace the entire wiring harness (the part that hooks up with a big 5-6 hole plug to the wire that comes from the dash.<br />there were several of the wires that were burnt completely through - I assume that the wires had gone because they had gotten worn through a bit and then they had gotten when when the water pump hoses started to leak.<br /><br />I took the boat out to Jordanell Res in Utah (Heber area) on saturday and it ran great. I am still amazed at the performance of that evinrude 110. it is matched just right for my 17'boat. it went great and ran good....<br /><br />Looks like we will run it for a while.<br />OH - I was also pleasantly supprised at the cost of repair - to have the carbs gone through and have the wiring harness replaced and have the lower gear oil changed and some additives put in the gas = it was only 300.00. I was real happy<br />signing off.............
