Evinrude Problems

[LOWinEYEin]

I think I am having mixture problems.

The motor will kill if I turn hard left or right, and it kept wanting to kill or not start.

35 horse older
newer hose
older tank
new plugs

thanks guys

Moving to equipment expert forum!

Need more info. Is it a tiller or remote? How does it kill - stop immediately or putter out? Will it recover if you straighten it out quickly? Does it start again right after it stalls? If you can't tell, I'm leading toward some sort of electrical problem like a poor connection or short when wires are being strained in a sharp turn.

Putter out
It does recover if you straighten out...hmmm
Did'nt restart.

Does this happen with a full tank?

[LOWinEYEin]

Half full its does. I don't believe it does with a full one.

Fuel starvation.

Try a different tank.

[Jim W]

United, that was my guess. I just had the intake from my gas tank replaced. It had a crack half way down it. Once my tank neared half it would die.

NEver on a full tank...for obvious reasons.

I hope this is all it is....cheap fix!

Maybe your hose is getting pinched when you turn and cutting off your fuel supply.

How fast are you going when this happens?

Hose wasn't pinched.

Fast kinda

Tried starting it with the water hose connected. It would start for a little bit but then kill.

Is it possible to have rust or something negative in the tank/hose.
I drained it this spring and put all new in, but did not rinsce it out or nothing.

Is there a sponser for this site that sells tanks?

Is the bulb tight?

[psegriz]

Had this problem this year w/my merc. It turned out to be a bad hose connection to the fuel pump. The crimp somehow wasn't holding seal anymore, take the hood off and squeeze the bulb. To check and see if any fuel leaks somewhere.
