    2003 Evinrude ficht stalls at medium speed

    I did some tests on the boat today and got strange results. I don't know if I did them correctly. I did not unplug the sensor. I just used paperclips as shown in the picture to do all the tests. Thank you for all the help.

    2003 Evinrude ficht stalls at medium speed

    Sorry, we were just able to tend to the boat recently. We installed the EV diagnostic tool, but no codes were generated. We replaced the fuel filter and tried to run the boat in neutral at medium RPM to see if the new filter resolved the issue, but the engine died again. (I now know this was a...

    2003 Evinrude ficht stalls at medium speed

    Engine E250fpzsta. We made a quick trip to the boat (haven’t gathered codes yet) but checked and emptied fuel filter and noticed a lot of sediment settle at the bottom. There was no water separation. Also for the VST filter, we can’t find the right part number to order. I appreciate all the help.

    2003 Evinrude ficht stalls at medium speed

    Thank you for your quick responses. The boat is on a mouring right now and we just got the ev diagnostic to check the codes when we pull it out of the water. Now I'm thinking of the ventilation. Is there a way to check if the ventilation is good or not while it's on the mouring?

    2003 Evinrude ficht stalls at medium speed

    I have an Evinrude 2003 ficht that runs fine at low speed. It will run at medium speed for a minute or so and then stalls. It won't start back up until I come back the next day and it starts up and runs fine until the same thing happens again once I accelerate and hold at medium speed it will...

    250hp Evinrude tilt Guage not working

    Hello, The tilt Guage for my 2003 250 hp Evinrude outboard is not working. The motor tilts up and down fine, it's just the Guage. I've attached a picture of the tilt lever on the back of the boat. It moves up and down and the Guage works when I move it manually, but it does hit the black round...

    NS5b gears (F,N,R) and manual tilt

    Hello, I have a nissan NS5b on which I just changed out the impeller. Now when I start it in neutral, the prop spins clockwise. When I shift to Forward, the prop still spins clockwise, and it doesn't spin at all in reverse. Also, I have a problem with the manual tilt. It seems to be stuck and...

    Temperature sensor

    We found this (what I believe is a temperature sensor) just sitting on the bottom of the motor near the bottom of the carb. Where is it suppose to go? Thank you.

    Throttle neutral switch

    We have a 2000 250hp evinrude motor on a wellcraft. We need to shift the throttle back and forth repeatedly in order for the boat to find neutral and to crank. We don't know if the neutral warm up button is working properly. There are two screws under the warmup button. Are those to adjust...

    Engine won't turn over

    Thanks. I didn’t touch the cables so I guess it is misaligned. Is there any manual or video that you know of that shows how to realign? I don’t know where I went wrong. I didn’t think I changed anything. Thanks again

    Engine won't turn over

    Thank you very much for your replies. It turns out that it was the neutral switch. The problem now lies that the throttle is not at a straight up and down 90 degree angle for neutral. It needs to be brought back for neutral to register. (As can be seen in the attached picture) Is there a way to...
