Need help with 1965 Evinrude 75

[roostmx]

What symptoms would a blown head gasket show. Engine will run for a second and die. Have checked and rebuilt carb, fuel pump, replaced hoses, etc. I have spark. Was running great then died. Wouldnt restart, then suddenly did. Ran a minute or so then died. Ever since just runs a short period (few seconds at most) then dies. I looked in the spark plug hole on the starboard side and the pistons appear wet. The port side doesnt appear the same. Any help would be appreciated.

I forgot. I'm going to do a compression test tomorrow. What presure should the cylinders read???

Howdy, Roostmx.<br /><br />You'll probably get more action on your engine problem on the Engines and Motors Forum.<br /><br />Try spraying some fuel mix into the carbs when you crank her up. Another trick is to pump your primer bulb constantly.<br /><br />If either of those work, you have a fuel starvation problem.<br /><br />Then come back to the Engines and Motors Forum and restate your problem.<br /><br />Red sky at night. . .<br />JB
