Re: 1987/ 70hp VRO Evinrude HELP!

according to the evinrude model numbering scheme, "RS" makes it a 1940 motor, but that scheme didn't start until 1980..........

wait a sec....ok, it's a 1984 commercial version...

I have a 1988 evinrude 70 hp which runs great in my garage but seems has become afraid of water .

I launch my boat, I prime, I start, I warm (so far so good) I go from the no wake zone out of the beach and it gets lazy until it stalls. afterwards doesnt
want to start until I give it the forbiden fumes of the starting fluid.

what do i do now?
gas hose and filter are new
plugs are also new.
what next

I still am having those problems I mentioned and the carbs are full of oil. remember that the VRO is disconected and that gas is mixed with oil in the fuel tank
