    Nothing to do with Evinrude going out of business, 2008 injectors are $250, but whatever, I need to catch some bass.

    Ya, well, that's what happens when Evinrude says "screw you" to their 2007 customers. I don't have the time for that I want to salvage tournament season.

    Alright, i'm out of ideas, guess i'm gonna find some ripoff priced injectors and buy 2 before my next tournament trail is shot.

    It was cold out today here. Yes, i've tried a separate fuel source, mentioned that in my 2nd post. The high pressure pump is electric, I don't think it's strange at all, once you shut off the engine the pressure drops about 10psi, so there must be back-pressure from the injectors while...

    Also hooked up the fuel pressure gauge again. Holds at a steady 35 psi, a few seconds AFTER the engine starts to act up, the pressure drops to 30, but it seems like it's just losing back pressure as the engine acts up, then the pressure drops, and it's still more than enough fuel pressure to...

    Well, just ran the Star Trek Trim test, no change, but we pretty much knew that as the 4700uf capacitor did nothing. The injectors feel the same temp to the touch. I gave it gas when it started to go, and that smoothed it out and ran for an additional 10 minutes, after which giving it gas...

    I've seen the information regarding how to remove the filter, just didn't want to risk it, but thanks for clarifying, others could read this and be helped. I wonder if the fuel filters can handle ~35 psi, not sure.

    Yes, I know, inspected both. On the 150HP I just visually inspected as best I could, didn't want to risk breaking it taking it out. I guess it's possible that some injectors are heating up as they run/and or are clogged. We'll find out any abnormal heating shortly. I wonder if putting an...

    I don't think a 2% difference would be critical either, I do have a capacitor on my 25HP (I would think), not readily available at the moment, but will take a look. Unless the cap continues to get weaker and weaker, and faster when in operation on the engine. I've seen other evinrude cap's...

    I've done the ohm's test, and the leak down test, are there others?

    Ya, but why did the 55V cap go from 46,900 to 45,500 when I put it on the capacitance meter, and the 4700uf cap's stayed level for the same 10 minute interval. The meter reads 46,900 immediately, and goes down from there. The mulitmeter counts up, but at some point goes to 0L I just noticed...

    Well, while running the 55V cap test on the multimeter, the ohms continue to climb, I stood there about 24hours last time waiting for it to reach near infinity, at some point I gave up. So I got a cheap capacitance meter, what's interesting is when I hook it up it reads 46900, but after about...

    Well, no dice with a 4700uf capacitor on the B+ :( I guess I could try 9400, any suggestions?

    $736 for 2007 Evinrude Etec Injectors, $250 for 2008 Evinrude Etec Injectors!

    So after I test the B+, if that doesn't fix it, wouldn't the 55V be the next to take a look at?

    Oh, I missed that crucial point. Let me rethink my plan. [thinking slowly....] ;) Could be the 55V cap, i've never understood how the book test would completely verify the 55V cap, that thread seems to have verified my thinking. See how the test could tell you if it's definitely bad. But...

    LOL, that's true, but my usage fees, let's just say... don't end up being a drain on my wallet. Will let you know, have some capacitors on the way, I realize there are other ways I could test, but would rather limit any more damage if this is the case.

    Interesting, the only doubt I have is that the problem didn't follow the "good" injector when I put it on the bad injector cylinder. Good to have in the bag of tricks though, if it turns out not to be the case. Unless the problem wasn't enough to immediately cause an operating problem on the...

    I've got a gun on the way :), also to verify engine and EMM temps. No, this is good stuff, I will start checking the voltages to the injectors with a multimeter, if necessary I will hook up an oscilloscope like I did to build my "injector cleaner". Never got a chance to try different solutions...

    I don't know that the injectors became suspect at the same time, could have been gradual over time. Not claiming any defect issue in regards to the high prices, but that's separate from getting it running. My hours are under 2K, but I have been putting 200+ per year for the last 4 years and...

    I've been over there... I don't disagree with you, the plan was to get 2 injectors and continue to monitor and test at idle as well as on the water at different RPM's. I've run every electrical test in the book, everything checks out, at least at idle in my 100 gallon tank. Several dealers...
