Hi All, the motor was running well and would start right up until I put it in gear, it would die. I decided to pull the carbs off and clean them out. I soaked them in cleaner and used a compressor, not real difficult. I put the carbs back on and now the motor will not start at all. I pulled the plugs and noticed they were soaked so abviously it is flooding and getting too much gas. Plugs are brand new too and it is getting spark. Is there a setting that may be off or possibly the float needs to be adjusted on the carbs?

Re: 200 Evinrude not starting

plugs can also be wet from not firing at all. I would suggest a spark test to be sure the ignition system is working. A compression check wouldn't be a bad idea either.

That will get you started. Hopefully the more expirienced guys will come along and help you the rest of the way.

I did a compression test. All cyliders have real good compression and I did a spark test so there is adequate spark.
