    Engine wont turn, frozen

    Look carefully around the shaft supports. Evinrude does HAVE a friction adjustment. If there is a adjustment screw or bolt. Loosen it completely . To force the motor to swivel around. 2 BIG guys can make the difference.

    Volvo penta aq125a

    You now KNOW why you ONLY change 1 part at a time. Take the boat out for a fully warmed up run to MAKE SURE the part is GOOD and you did the replacement correctly.

    '88 5.7 inboard dies after running smooth, restarts after few minutes, smooth again

    I would bet your life on it being electrical part. The long run / heating up and same cooling down time fit perfectly. While it could be a wire connection. I lean a lot to a electrical part heating up and cooling down. Quick check to do when the engine does that heated up shutdown. Pull the...

    Fuel return

    I would never use compressed air into the PICK UP tube of the tank. There should be a VERY FINE MESH filter on the end of the pick up tube. POOF goes the filter. Then anything can get sucked up.
