no gas

[cddetelich]

Motor is a 94 3HP Evinrude with self-contained tank. Spark is good, seems like fuel starvation. Fresh fuel in tank, new plugs, started once for only a few seconds, then died. Is there a primer? A fuel vent? Or any other ideas? Choke is operational,fuel petcock open.

Re: no gas

I'm not the better, so take my advice carefully... It may be your fuel pump. I had the same problem with my 9.9 1985. THey sell me a rebuild kit. It works for me... Good luck...<br />Steeve

Re: no gas

I don't believe he has a fuel pump on that one. It's gravity fed isn't it?<br />Perhaps you're not getting adequate flow to the carb from the tank due to a clogged filter, etc. Disconnect the fuel line from the carb and see that you're actually getting something.<br /><br />Typical symptoms are if you leave it for 10 or 15 minutes it'll start and run for a few seconds until it uses up all the fuel in the carb's bowl. Then another 10-15 to refill it depending on the restriction.
