1987 Evinrude 4hp Deluxe
Model # E4RDHCUD
I just purchased my first outboard, a clean 4hp Evinrude Deluxe to learn on though hands on expierence. Since acquiring ive installed a new Water Impellar Kit, Carb Kit, Fuel Pump Kit, Lower Unit Oil, and new clean ethanol free gas in a clean tank.
Problems.... Motor starts easy in 2-3 pulls and runs/sounds/shifts great in a tank. However once mounted to my 15ft Gheenoe the motor seems to bog down at WOT allowing me only about 5-6mph. I manipulate the high speed needle and see slightly improved results for only a few seconds with no speed increase and then it bogs back down. I see the best results with the throttle set just before WOT. Still it seems to no maintain the increase and drops the load. Any suggestions/advice on where to look next? Im new to outboards but have patience.
Thanks, Tom
