Hi there guys. Im new to this forum stuff and my outboard has forced me to start doing it.Haha. I'll try and give all the facts that I can think of to help with figuring out my problem(problems).So here it goes. I bought a 1996 15hp outboard from my buddy. It never ran for 3-4 years since it was stollen and by some weird way made it back to him.He needed money so I bought it from him for 400 bones. Im not that machanicaly inclined but I did the things I could think of.The only problem I had was getting it to pump water so I replaced that and no problems overheating.I have had the motor now for going on 3 years and the only problem I have had with it has been starting it after it gets hot.I can run up and down the river all day long as I dont shut it off or let it stall when I come to an idle.The problems have been there since day 1. Hard starting when hot and after warming up and going for a rip up and down the river if Im not carful coming down to an idle it will stall. If Im lucky and with toes crossed I can get it fired up after a few minutes but on more then 1 trips ,Ive rowed home to my docks.Good exercise but way to long of a row sometimes (2hrs).I just got it back from a shop and they did some carb adjustments and said it ran fine in the test tank. 80 bucks later and Im not sure If I belive them. The only way I can work around the problem is to leave it sit for an hour or so and seems to start with out to much problem.Some one said it might be a coil or power pack but doesnt seem to be breaking down when running around wot.Im at the end of my rope with it.Any help would be realy!!! realy!!! realy!!! great.
