one more time

1993 200 hp evinrude ( carbs ) when starting for the first time, hard to start when eventually fires runs, then when given throttle dies as if starving for fuel. lines are clear , no water in seperator. after 2 or 3 times engine will start and run good. is this a carb problem or a fuel pump issue??

Re: one more time

Are you waiting until the motor comes out of Quick Start? What plugs, grade and age fuel and what oil ratio?<br /><br />Good luck!

DHadley,1993 recently rebuilt 200hp evinrude, fuel is fresh,doesn't have time to get out of quick start, pretty much slowly dies. then you pump the throttle 2 or 3 more times and try and start her again, this process goes on for two or three times and eventually she runs.My concern is that I don't want to spend 200.00 on a new vro/fuel pump if it could be something else. no water in line, fresh fuel, fresh oil(vro fed). no kinks in the fuel line??????

im not a boat mechanic but have delt with alot around here most people will not rely on vro they plug them and mix their gas you might have a sencer for that bad might not help but my 2 cents

Re: one more time

OK, how old is the fuel? What grade is it (87, 93)? Are the thermostats in place? What brand and type are the plugs?<br /><br />Lets start with the basics then we'll look at what may or may not have been done when it was rebuilt. <br /><br />Let us know!
