| I have had this problem, for me it turned out to be the bulb in
the gas line.

I would check for water in the gas especially if you have internal gas tanks. Second
try the gas filter. If you have an internal tank you should have a fuel/water
separator filter.
I spent a whole day once getting back to the dock and draining the water from the
tank. I also installed a separator that day and had no more problems even though
there was still water in the tank. I would drain the filter after every run until
all the water was gone.

My first guess... tank vent not working properly or gas line from
tank to motor is bad or not connnected properly.
I know this may be way too basic, but your "stalling" problem sure
sounds like the same problem that occurs when the gas tank vent is
mistakenly left closed.

| When I had a problem like this, it was bad gas. It had gelled and was
clogging up the pick-up strainer. Upon pouring the gas out of the
tank, there werer these little blobs of sticky jelly all over the sides
of the can.

| 1219.5 | if all else fails .. try the condenser | NIOSS1::HOBBS | Rick Hobbs | Wed May 17 1995 18:22 | 6 |
| If the above, excellent suggestions fail to resolve your problem
you could try replacing the condenser (and points while you are at it).
I have seen condensers become intermittent and display similar symptoms
as a fuel problem.

| 1219.6 | I have the same problem | CNTROL::SALMON | | Thu May 18 1995 10:42 | 4 |
| I seem to be having the same problem with my 3 hp Johnson. I purchased
it used earlier this spring, and the guy I bought it from left gass in
the tank over the winter. Does any recomend (or NOT recomend) using
GUM OUT?

| 1219.7 | Winter stored gas may be the problem. | POWDML::ZABEK | | Thu May 18 1995 13:46 | 16 |
| I have 3 gas tanks that came with the boat and all had old gas which
was stored over the winter. One tank was stored full and I added an
additive to keep it "fresh" over the winter. The 2 other tanks were
emptied this year and refilled with new gas. Maybe these "globules"
of old gas ar still floating in the tank and clogging a carb jet.
I'm going to try some kind of gas additive that would clean the carbs
or dissolve whatever is causing the problem .....if this is the
problem. The tanks are circa 60's and probably are not the most
efficient. Maybe a new tank would do the trick although last year this
problem did not surface.
I may try the condenser/points replacement if this doesn't work.
Thanks for the suggestions,
Steve

| I have a '64 Evinrude 60hp. The problem I had was after 2 hrs. or so
running, when I throttled down to idle, the engine died and would not
restart. (The first time it happened, my car/trailor was at the
southern tip of Alton Bay and the engine died in the channel at the
Weirs....cost me a $25 taxi ride to get my car/trailor!). After several
trips to 2 different repair shops, it turned out to be an ignition coil
that broke down after it heat up (2hrs). Always started fine the first
time. This engine is the "Sportfour" model with a magneto ignition.
