HI all, new to this site and looking for answers. I just put this 112hp evinrude on my boat to replace a 70hp johnson. My buddy just bought a boat with the 112hp on it from a dealer in Tennessee, who said the motor was completley checked out, and actually still has a warranty there in Tennessee, I am from Ohio. Anyway this engine flat out screams, but once you get to WOT, it will cut out and bog down after a minute or so. I have removed the pickup tube from the tank, was clean and screen was clear. replaced fuel line from tank to the engine, checked vent....clear. I was told to hook up a seperate line from the outbound side of the fuel pump and crank the engine to see if fuel is being pumped and it is, I have no way of knowing how much it should, but it was a steady stream with each crank (into a jar). When we are on the water, the boat will run great as long as someone is sqeezing the bulb, so I am thinking it has to be the fuel pump right? There weird thing is, on the 70hp it would do the same thing and bog down, just would not completley die like the 112hp is doing. It was doing something similar on the first engine also which is why I first suspected the tank itself. I am lost here guys and dont know where else to look, please any advice would be great.
