I think I have a 1999 60hp evinrude outboard motor. Last year I took it out and at full speed it died after 1 minute. I took it in for a fix, they drained the tank and rebuilt the carbs, that worked for the next 2 times out then it went back to dying. This year I replaced the spark plugs, fuel filter, gas lines and primer injector. I drained the tank again, I took it to another mechanic, he replaced the impeller and said the arrow on the primer injector was set wrong. I took it out today and couldn't get it started. the gas I put in it is ethanol free. Please help!!

Start by checking spark and compression. If both are good, check to make sure your fuel pump is working. -
I checked both before good spark and gas is getting past the pump!!Comment

If you have spark, compression and fuel, the unit should start.Comment

I took my boat out today, it took about 10 minutes but it finally started. I let it idle for about 10 minutes no problem. I pulled away from the dock gave it half trottle and even full throttle for about 2 minutes then it just died. It restarted 2 or 3 times but only ran for about 2 seconds each time but wouldn't keep running and wouldn't start any more.Comment

I had to stop for a minute an evaluate your advice. I realized my Aunt Nellie could have been more helpful. There is no need to respond, I won't be asking any more questions. With your expertise I now know why Evinrude motors are better suited for anchors than boat pushers!!Comment
