Re: Need help diagnosing Evinrude 9.5 problem

quote crosbyman:

maybe I missed it….. what was the basic cause of all this grief….coils carb wires crud, ……? …and tell it to that original mechanic who had no faith in oldies 😆

I’m not 100% sure what the issue was because I replaced everything electrical. Even though the coil packs physically looked good, I suspect it might have been that. But now I have new packs, wires, points, condensers, plugs.

When I took it to the lake this weekend I think it would have started on one pull if I’d had a good angle. I repositioned and it started on the next pull. Idled great and really had no issues. This was after sitting for a month.

I concur with the overrated power. It runs great, but I have so much water friction with my inflatable dingy that it doesn’t stand a chance of getting on plane.

And yeah, I do hope to see that mechanic again. Thanks again for your help.
