Hi Blaze
well it seems to be a thing with the Old evinrudes I had the same problems couple of years ago with mine
it started fine till it warmed up them died of just fired on two or three cyc
give the mechanics a reall hard time trying to find it they started it up and nothing happened this went on for to or three trips and finally it decided that she would prove to the mechanics that I was not going crazy ;D ??? ;D ??? ;D :P the power pack can cause you this problem as they are a sealed unit it takes untill they really get warm before they decided that you are not crazy imaging things or just plain wheres the boys in the white jackets job for you and one other QUESTION that some peole over look it maybe stupid but then agian I no some people that have been there before :-[ :P :-[ :P :-[
have you checked your little fuse in the motor ;D ;D ;D sorry not being smart but you would be surprised but my guess try yourt power pack is really what it sounds like and they are not cheap

Cheers ;D ;D
Steve :P

hi stevedemon
the fuse is fine the power pack you are talking about, are you talking about the stator.

Blaze, I would love to help if I can. What model motor is it? (year).If you don't know the year please give me the model number on the serial plate.(left side of clamp bracket). There are some different ignition systems used so that will give me some idear. Has it lost spark completely on all three cyd's, even now?
