    outboard won't stay idling or rev up

    Most likely carbs but do a spark jump test at least on the lower cylinder. Nice blue 3/8 inch crackle. https://www.jbtools.com/lisle-50850-ignition-spark-tester/?wi=off&gad_source=1&gclid=Cj0KCQjwj4K5BhDYARIsAD1Ly2q_KyC5wkFCDpMmsmZBcjw9SKMw2O96gSW1-JFG-ExYopdZyftFnOsaAtefEALw_wcB

    outboard won't stay idling or rev up

    Question 2, plastic parts? Did you remove all the seals before shooting the carb cleaner? It basically ruins rubber. Is it dying before it gets warm? If so, keep giving it a squirt until it stays running. Warm up lever is up correct? After it dies have you looked at the plugs? Are they wet or...

    1996 Evinrude 15HP Stuttering/Surging approaching & at WOT

    Nice example of how it doesn't take much corrosion. Thanks for responding.

    Johnson 35 with intermittent stream before thermostat opens

    Other than the broken bolts it's a piece of cake. Lower head bolts are the toughest. Get your self some 80 grit sandpaper, something dead flat and do figure 8 patterns on the sheet with the head. Takes me about 40 minutes to an hour to complete a head grind.

    2003 Johnson 9.9 4 stroke-Rev limit

    In a barrel you don't want to rev it anyways so leave it alone. If otherwise the motor runs good than it's a good thing. Remember, an outboard is running like your pulling a big hill in a car....running with "no load" is not good.

    2003 Johnson 9.9 4 stroke-Rev limit

    In neutral? Sounds like the shift throttle lock is not releasing assuming it has one.

    Warning buzzer issues 1995 E90TLEO

    If the horn itself is functioning correctly (key switch test) and doesn't sound when you ground the wire going to the harness than perhaps you had a wire break in the harness. Time to get out your tester.

    1996 Evinrude 48spl warning sound

    You need to determine if it's to hot. Inexpensive IR gun and test how hot it is...top of the head, 145 or so fast idle. 160 shut it down. If ok then time to test the sensor. If it turns out your plugged up you will have to go hunting.

    Johnson 50 2stroke Starting issue

    I have a four and a half deluxe sitting in my garage right now. I can spin the flywheel one way until it stops and I can spin it back the other way until it stops, it's got a broken rod and the crankshaft is coming around and smacking part of the rod that's not moving. If you lean the motor...

    Johnson 50 2stroke Starting issue

    Most likely broken rod in crankcase but like everyone said other things can stop it. Put a pencil in the spark plug holes and see if they are going up and down. If that is ok pull the gearcase. Look for any binding. Pretty sure your not going to like the outcome. Buy a 70 HP.

    outboard won't stay idling or rev up

    If the compression checks out then might be float system issues. Do the carbs have plastic pieces?

    Impeller Issues

    Not just cheap ones....I spun my original 1991 evinrude 8 horse that I bought brand new. Of course it was 25 years old at the time!

    Impeller Issues

    Check the rubber tube, pull it from the block fitting....you might have a plug. If it still doesn't pee, check for an overheat with an IR gun. Next is pull the foot and examine everything related.

    Dies in gear

    Spark tester or spark JUMP tester? https://www.jbtools.com/lisle-50850-ignition-spark-tester/?wi=off&gad_source=1&gclid=Cj0KCQjwveK4BhD4ARIsAKy6pMKya9qy0QL97KtLuMvY1scOtk-2eJMF4l9AMdSlsmv5d0VStfSXTiAaAuoZEALw_wcB

    Dies in gear

    Get a spark jump tester and see if you have a nice big blue arc that jumps 7/16 or so. Jump testers are about $15 bucks at any auto shop. If that's good start looking at your fuel system. When you say "it dies" are you talking on the water or on muffs?

    Mystery Bolt and New Gasket?

    Bolt is a shouldered bolt with a plastic bushing. Definitely could have come off your motor or was sitting down in the lower shroud from an earlier repair event. Thoroughly look around your motor. I saw what looked like a wet motor with giggling droplets. Never saw water dripping or spraying out.

    E25TECCA Quit peeing

    Did you pull the hose off the fitting and check for blockage? If so check thermostat and area around it. Once it's back together try unscrewing the plastic nipple that the pee tube hooks on to at the block. These are all pinch points.

    Dies in gear

    Just about everything that can go wrong with an engine can do that. Let's start with the compression numbers and go from there.
