i have an evinrude 50 that i have been using since april, and it ran great until today. i started the engine, throttled up and suddenly the boat slowed up to about 5 mph. and thats as fast as it will go. last week i took it out in the bay for the first time, but it did great. this week i tried out another engine for trolling, a 7&1/2 hp, so i was using it in stead of the 50, but when i tried to use the 50 thats when it happened. the only other thing is i got some fuel for the 50 only. what could it be?

could be you posted in the restoration and boat building forum instead of the outboards. But I'd rebuild the carbs anyway.:p
