I have a 60hp Evinrude with a ignition system almost identical to yours (not sure what's it called), anyways for the past few weeks my motor won't start at all.. It cranks, there's fuel flowing and there are sparks from the plugs. If i take the cover off and check the carbs I see mixed fuel..mill even smell fuel on the plugs when I pull them off.. But it won't start.. Not even a sputter.. So my guess it's the ignition system somehow.. I noticed that it sometimes sticks when I try and start it... Maybe a faulty kill Switch? How would I disable that completely to test? Thanks

I have pretty much the exact same setup, I’ve been having a problem getting mine to start but once it’s running it does pretty well. I have to tilt the motor all the way up to get it to go. I also have to put some gas into it very quickly after shifting or it will die. Is this clogged up carbs or something else?

What does raising the lever when you start do exactly as in idle and choke or just idle. Also can you tell me what the small screw in knob below the ignition switch controls. And last but not least what does pushing in on the key while cranking control
@jstrebe1
6 жыл бұрын
the knob adjusts how tight the slip ball is pressed against the inside wheel, the wheel has notches in it to kind of hold it (throttle lever in positions) and pressing the key in primes the carbs with a little squirt of fuel, kind of like the fuel bulb you press on a weed eater or lawn mower to prime the carb.

Cold motor start.....raise fast idle lever up to fast idle start position. turn key on and push key in to electronically prime. Hold key in and continue to turn key to start position. Release if motor starts or after 10sec. Repeat process if motor doesn't start. Additional priming (pushing key in) may be needed once motor is running. Adjust idle with top idle lever.

Kay Walker, the buzzing is most likely the alarm going off. I found out what it was after I had it go off a few times. My water pump/impeller was NFG. In turn the engine was overheating. Easy check, make sure you have a good water stream coming out of the rubber hose up by the engine cover, then go from there.

More then likely part of the fuel system is not closing. Try a different fuel bulb first, make sure all fuel lines and fittings are tight. If all that checks out you may have a stuck float in the carbs. Listen to see if you can hear air in any part of the fuel system, that will likely be the source of your problem.

my understanding is if you set your idle on muffs, there is not much back pressure with the exhaust on muffs, so say your idle is set at 1000 with muffs, when you put it in the water there is a greater water pressure at the exhaust and the idle may be as low as 700 RPM, thus to low to actually idle. and it just dies. I have read to set the idle higher with muffs, say 1400 rpm then she should idle at 1000 in the water

What is your email? I've been having issues starting my boat. Here's the details: I hope you can help. Three times in a row, my boat wouldn’t start. I wish I knew what I was doing wrong or what I failed to do right. Here’s what I did; lowered motor into water pumped primer bulb until it was hard air valve on gas tank wouldn’t open, so just loosened the big cap on the tank. then I put then idle lever straight up 90 deegrees then i choked it 2 or 3 times then i tried to start it. It turned over, but wouldn’t start I should mention that only about 2 wks before that, it started up quite easily, however the motor seemed to have issues when we first started out (stalling & clunking) which was kind of discouraging, but once got warmed up, it went well both at trolling & high speeds, (I had it up to about 28 mph) What would cause it to run so rough at the start? Not being warmed up? :
