- 1996 evinrude 48 spcl.
Two days in a row my motor has been acting wierd, it has never done this before. I launched the boat and planed out fine. I drove for about 5 minutes and then throttled down to idle. Shortly after, i tried to plane off again but i couldn't get any power. When I pushed my throttle forward, my engine sounded like it was drowning and would cut off. Five minutes later, it would plane off perfect and randomly i would have the same problem throughout the afternoon. I thought it might be a float in the carb or the spark plugs. I put new plugs in and pulled the carbs off. the carbs look good, i ran some cleaner through them and reinstalled them. the next day it did the same thing. any ideas?
