Same thing with my 94 Evinrude 225

I have the same issue with 94 Evinrude 225. Mine doesn't die right off but spits and sputters and then dies. We did a resistance test on the power pack and found that it is way below what it should be. My power head is brand new rebuild .
Just some thought or something else to check.

Has the motor been sitting? If so it may have varnished carbs. If not & comp test was ok check spark on all 6 and check for water In fuel.
