1990 Evinrude 115HP 4-Stroke VRO deleted won’t start
Edit: 2-Stoke! Not 4, my apologies
New to us boat, when we bought it 4 months ago it was finicky to start but it would start, hadn’t been run in about 2 years. First thing we did was replace the spark plugs, the wires, and the CDI, cleaned the carbs and the fuel lines, and the choke pump (was cracked). The last time we got it successfully, on the way from the launch it was only running 8mph at WOT opposed to the previous 24mph, on the way back to the launch it was bogging down at half throttle, when we got home I noticed the adjustment for the carb flaps was lose, so we messed with that and tightened it, probably needs to be adjusted more, last weekend we were able to get it to start with the carb as it sits now, but the next day it wouldn’t start. The idle also needs to be adjusted but we haven’t been able to get it to start reliably enough to take it to the lake and properly adjust it.
It has spark, compression, and fuel (50:1 mixed gas), the battery is at full charge. This weekend we replaced the spark plugs and got new fuel in the tank, the video is after the plug change. The plug pictured in comments is a previous one we’ve been running, not a new one from the change today.
