I am new to the forums and new to owning a boat. I have a late 80's 115 Evinrude. I had the carbs rebuilt and cleaned and put in a new ignition so far. It was running great until last weekend. It would start and run for about a min and then die. If I started it and put it in drive real quick it would run great. Yesterday, it started right up and ran for about 10 mins and then just died. It started right up but when I put it in drive it died again. Now it will only run at idle for about a min before it dies again. Anyone have any idea what could be going on here.

Re: 115 Keeps Dying

It started while in the water. I was able to run through the full rpm range before it shut off. If I start it on the trailer with water hooked up I can run the rpm's up as well.
