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.

It's not the Evinrude motor,

it's the boneheaded Canadian pulling on the cord. !! laugh

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.

You need:
SPARK. Pull the spark plugs What do they look like? Wet? Dry? Dirty? Lean one against a bare piece of metal on the engine block, and pull the cord and look for spark across the electrodes.

COMPRESSION. While you have the plugs out, do a compression test with a compression tester. The should read within 5% of each other.

FUEL. Does the primer bulb get firm and stay that way when you squeeze it a number of times? How old is the gas? Check for water in the fuel. Water will not pass through the tiny holes in the carburetor. Check the condition of the fuel pump diaphragm and flap valves.

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.

As usual you are suckling air.

The diaphragm on the carb has hardened up, gas gets in but after a few fires the pressure does not draw more gas. there fore the air gets in.

Row-row-row your boat..........what is the rest of the ryme.

Then the area under the flywheel where the spark arrester is need to be polished the Al has corroided and is throwing off the spark. There is a steel bar that slides on it

Take it in to your small engine mechanic before you mess it up.

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.

There's only one thing in this world that is worse than a boat........ A snowmobile. They both are expensive. They both suck to work on. But there's always water, some years no snow.

You should also put an electric trolling motor on the boat and keep a decent paddle too, for backups, when your 48 year old engine dies again, if you get it going.

I have heard the definition of a boat is a hole in the water you throw your money into.

I have also heard the second happiest day a boat owner has is the day they buy a boat and the happiest day, the day they sell the boat to someone else.

Good luck.

Keith

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.
