Buy a boat!
Ok, buying a boat won’t get you mad. But working on the motor and pulling the cord 300 times in this humidity we got going on here will! 1971 6hp Evinrude. Now I know why my dad swore, yelled, threw things, slammed things, and pretty much ruined our fishing trips when the motor wouldn’t start. Luckily I wasn’t on the water lol.
I’m madder than heck right now but slowly cooling down.
Motor will run for a second or two then nothing for the next 30 pulls. I did get it running for a minute or two and shut it off on my own. But not having luck getting it going again.
Sound like a fuel issue to you guys?
I just put new spark plugs in and cleaned the carb and checked the fuel filter.
Anyone think they know what could be the issue? I have all the ambition in the world to get this thing running good.
The guy I bought it from couldn’t get it running at all. I atleast got it to run, but not for very long.
Cold as ice!

Hey warrior I’m very illiterate when it comes to small engines, but pretty comfortable with cleaning carbs by now! What are the points and magneto? So no I haven’t checked them. I’m all ears and willing to learn anything you got to say about this motor. I’ll check them once I know what they are and do. Lol.

It's not the Evinrude motor, it's the boneheaded Canadian pulling on the cord. !! w Cute. I want to be fishing by next week. Hopefully on the boat lol.

52Carl, I got a brand now gas tank, hose, and fresh premium gas and oil today. Brand new spark plugs put in today too. I didn’t check if they were sparking though, but the motor runs for a second or two here and there so they must be sparking.
Primer bulb gets firm and stays that way.
I should check to see how good they are sparking though.
I don’t have a compression gauge to check what it’s at. I should probably buy one tomorrow and check.

Ok so I just checked to see if both spark plugs have spark and only one does. I took both plugs and altered them in the each other’s spot and the both have spark. Just one wire is allowing it to spark. Hoping that will be the problem.

No, $115 an hour for labour. I’m good. I’m willing to put a lot of time and a bit of money into this thing. If I can’t get it going good then I’ll go buy a brand new motor. I don’t mind spending money, but I do mind blowing it for nothing.

Your first mistake is you should have purchased a new four-stroke. Yes it would have cost you more up front but it will last the rest of your life.
