I'm a novice with my first ouboard to play with, although I have done car engines. My new boat has an evinrude 75, which is 3 cyl, 3 carbs and 3 shiny black units on the side from which the HT leads lead (what are these units pls?) <br /><br />On 1st use after 5 mins the power just dies and I barely managed to get up to plane. Came back to shore, set off again 15 mins later managed 1 run before power went again. Leaving it then made no difference - power remained gone when I tried it half hour later. Overall I think engine runs lumpily with a tendency to stall on engaging drive, but I am not sure whether 3 cyl should be lumpy.<br /><br />Plug gaps look huge (what should they be - 1.8 mill?) filters clear, fuel getting through and I see on a previous post that the coils can lose their resistance. Fuel was new, and vents open and not blocked. Telltale was flowing cleanly. <br /><br />Any tips on where to start?
