I have what i believe to be a 1994 Evinrude 15hp outboard. I had the carbs cleaned and new kit installed in July along with water impeller and housing. Only ran it for an hour or so right after that and it has been indoors until yesterday. Took it out and it ran fine for about 10 minutes under power and then died. Would not crank back up for nothing so trolled with electric motor rest of day. BTW, it was peeing water good before it quit. I put muffs to it today and sprayed some fuel in the carb and it fired up. Ran good for a few minutes and shut back down again. The primer bulb always seems pretty hard like fuel is not getting into the carb. In addition i have a small water leak around what i think to be the tstat cover. Thoughts on what my issue could be? I have never replaced the T stat and not sure how they work? Could the float or needle be sticking causing fuel not to get into carb? Thanks for all the help.
