Hi guys,
My Evinrude recently seized after leaving it for 8 months and somehow getting damp... result I stripped it down completely and sorted the seized problem. I have since put it all back together again and it is turning without problem - better than ever in fact.
So here is the problem... it won't start. I am thinking fuel supply problem. I have checked through the fuel system from tank outlet right through to the carburetor and there is fuel flowing all the way right into the main head, yet it won't start. Now this will show my lack of engine know-how... how does the fuel mixture get from the front of the engine to the rear in order for the spark plugs to work? I have also checked the spark plugs are working and are producing a spark. I am not 100% certain on the spark plug electrode gap though - anyone have reference to this?
I have tried to find a manual of some description on the internet, but have so far failed.
Can anyone shed any light on the possible problem and things I can look at.
BTW, it is an Evinrude 1988 4hp model BE4RCCS.
Cheers guys.
