1988 25hp Evinrude Model # E25RCCA
Hi guys.
Having a lot of trouble with idle and low speeds on my motor. In order to keep it running I have to open up the throttle as soon as the engine turns over or it dies. In fact, it also starts better if I have the throttle opened up slightly when I pull the cord.
If I leave the motor at idle or run at low speed it will bog down and die, usually in seconds. When it dies, I have to let it rest for several minutes before I can start it again.
My first thought was the carburetor needed cleaning, so I cleaned it out last week, and ran some seafoam in the tank too, but the problem persisted.
So anyway, today I found a crack in the small fuel line that runs into the lower part of the power head. I attached a picture of the line Im talking about. It was definitely spilling some fuel.
Obviously I'm going to replace that line, but do you think what's causing my poor idle problem? Or is there something else I should be looking for too?
