200 ocean pro stalling

[bobb623]

I have a 97 200hp evinrude ocean pro. The engine starts and then after about 15 sec or less stalls out. I noticed that the bulb is soft and also it looks as if some unspent fuel is in the water. When I try to rev up engine, it just dies out. I replaced plugs, filter and checked water separator. Where should i look from here.

Hey bobb623,<br />If the primer bulb is soft, I'd check the fuel pump and the gas line fittings throughout. Could be a fuel starvation problem caused by a faulty pump or air leaking into the gas line ahead of the fuel pump. <br />Backlash

Check the bolts on the upper crank bearing housing<br />under the flywheel, its is tight, but you should be able to see them with removing the flywheel. If these are ok proceed with your trouble shooting, like compression, spark gap, fuel pressure.
