Hi guy, I just bought my first outboard motor at an auction several day ago, it had number 6 in front so i guess it is a 6 hp? the serial number is something like: 6602E-E052145, it came with an Evinrude gas tank, quick connect fuel line with a very small hand pump, which is very hard to operate, i got 6 gallons of gas mixing with 14 oz of evinrude oil. After connecting the fuel line to the gas tank and the motor and put the bottom end of the motor in a bucket of water, i tried to start it but nothing happen, i pumped the little hand pump like hundred time but it is very hard to tell if the gas got to the motor or not, so i went ahead and took the "out" fuel line from the fuel pump on the motor to the carb and fill the carb with gas from the tank and the motor started and ran for about 30 sec and shut off because she ran out of gas, so here are my questions that i hope to get some answer:
1) what year is this motor and is it a 6hp?
2) what is the proper starting procedure for this type of motor? i put the throttle handle in Start position, the side gear lever thingie in the middle, the choke stick all the way in and it start but i'm not sure if this is the proper way to do it.
3) Base on what i experienced, is this a fuel pump problem? it look pretty new but it might not mean anything.
4) If it is fuel pump, does it repairable/rebuildable? or do is just have to replace it..
Thank you for any help that i can get.
