Outboard Engine
 
:curse:Hi, anyone out there know anything about the Evinrude 40hp outboard engine?
Always been a bad starter, but when running, great! Good spark which leads me to believe fuel problem as plugs are dry. Fuel filter fills when pressurised. Could anyone give me any info on where to look next? Engine is a 2 stroke with seperate oil tank.
Many thanks,
Ian

Lordy I would restart this as a new thread, or pm a mod to do so as the title eveyone will see is about motorbikes and not boats.

Unfortunately I’m not familiar with that engine at all, but for a two stroke bad starter I once had, it took me ages to discover the problem was inlet side air leaks. A gasket kit and an hour or so later, problem solved forever!
