take off the carbs, clean them very good and every little thing .. theres nothing to it really... second johnson/evinrude are very cold natured so give it a lil throttle when trying to start it . when u do get it started adj. the carbs from there

check the magneto out if you have a nice multi and the specs on it?



2 strokes are pretty simple to get running. did you winterize it right last year? fog the ---- out of that bitch? you might just need to change the plugs and get it started on some plugs that arn't fogged out and run all of that fogging oil out.

Did you check the valve lash and change the oil? The timing belt could be off too! :P

Seriously though...i would bet it is the fuel system.

check timing,

make sure your not running a hair off,

make sure you have good gas in the tank .. evinrudes are picky picky about fuel/oil mixture and freshness of gas. make sure your plugs are clean. Does this thing have one or 3 carbs ?

my evinrude was a pain in the *** for quite some time. 225 V6.

is it back firing out the carb ? or just pinging really bad ?

i'd throw a new set of points in there any ways..

Nick
