Have you looked at the Power Pack? Sure sounds like it. There is some good people out there that will tell you how to check it. I just went out an bought a new one last spring...when they told me that sounded like the problem. About $250.00.

Ahoy, Crawdaddy.<br /><br />I think you are on the right track. Try preheating your powerpack with a hair dryer and see if she still needs a long warm up before running smooth.<br /><br />Good luck.

Outboards lie. <br /><br />Idling with no load is when they lie the most.

I have a 1989 Evenrude XP150. Had the same problem, took it to the dealer and had it run on the dyno, came up bad power pack. I ordered one for a $140 delivered from www.seilermarine.com.<br />Took about 40 min to change it myself, ran great. <br />Dealer wanted $230 for part and install.Hope this helps.
