Evinrude 6hp help

[rbeddingfield]

Bought used 6hp, mid to late 80s, ran ok for about 10mins. When I throttled back to idle, motor stopped. Spend 2 hrs on lake trying to crank and wouldn't start. Not sure what problem is. Any advise? Going to replace spark plugs today.

Changed out spark plugs, didn't work. Thoughts. Sucks buying a motor to then have to take it in and spend more money. Live and learn

Check to see if have have spark at plugs, check gas for water, carb may need to be cleaned.
