Re: 6hp Evinrude problems(1976)
DO NOT USE STARTING FLUID! It washes down the cylinder walls and needle bearings. You're better off using WD-40.<br /><br />Now, for not running.<br /><br />1. Do you have fresh fuel/oil mix?<br />2. Is this a seperate or integral tank?<br /> If seperate, does the primer bulb get hard and remain hard? <br />3. Is the fuel line hooked up the right way? The squeeze bulb has a check valve in it and only allows fuel to go one way. The bulb should have an arrow on it telling you which direction the fuel flows.<br />4. If all of these are OK, it's time to srart at the fuel pump. Remove the inlet fuel line and check the screen.<br />5. If still no-go, see if fuel is getting past the pump to the carb.<br />6. If still no-go, it's time to clean the carb.
