Ok...looks like we will be going with a new pump. Dad likes the simplicity of not dealing with pre-mix and said go with new VRO if rebuilds are questionable. Will be ordering one shortly.

Thanks, ChampioNman. I also think I will be removing the vRO/fuel pump and rebuilding it with oem parts on the fuel side. I am suspecting that over time ethanol fuel may have taken its toll and I...

Motor sat for 1 year without being run. I dis-assembled, cleaned, and re-built the carbs. Couple of odd things when doing the...

Did the Joe Reeves timing method. Strange results, to say the least. With timing advanced to the stops, #1 is firing at 30 degrees BTDC. Checked it 3 times to be sure I was reading it correctly...

Tried running it today with engine cover off. Same results. Once back home, checked the compression again (ranged from 85 to 90 PSI). Re-checked the coils on the spark tester (set to 7/16") and...

I tried running it with the cover off / air box off and it still ran the same way (did this to see if all carbs were spraying fuel). Tried this after running and activating the primer system to see...

Had time to do some more work on this motor. I have gone through everything from the pressure side of the fuel pump to the carbs looking for any leaks, blockages, etc. New Racor filter, too. ...

When I re-built the carbs, I removed the high speed orifices, sprayed carb cleaner both ways through the brass fitting, blew out with compressed air, then shot cleaner through the fitting the orifice...

I'm back for some more help with this darn motor! I have come to the conclusion the worse thing for an outboard is to let it set up any length of time....dad is under strict orders crank it up at...

Switch was definitely bad...plunger stuck in the depressed position even after removed. I soaked it with penetrating oil overnight and it still would not pop back up on its own. Besides, needed an...

ChampionMan got it right....there was some slight corrosion where the o ring and shaft met. I think it sitting so long with no movement then me messing with it the other night caused the crud at the...

This motor is determined to torment me! I had posted under a different thread where it had sat for 18 months and had an ignition issue...

Hey omcforever -

No need to feel neglected...I followed your suggestion, too, and confirmed all plugs under the pack were corrosion free, then cleaned up the ground lug on top of the power pack...

ChampionMan nailed it! Shift interrupt was stuck so it was killing one whole bank. Discconnected the switch and had good spark; plugged back on and no spark. Local dealer has the oem replacement,...

Thanks...will try both when I get home today and report back!

Boat sat for 18 months not used. Pumped all gas from the tank and added 10 gallons of fresh fuel. Did not see any signs of phase...

Big thanks to you guys for the assistance! This site is the best when dealing with these white motors!

Bracket is L shaped...no gusset running down the bracket. Air gap set to .035".

Ok...I think I may have found the culprit; the 20 amp inline fuse running to the PDP. Got home from work and...

Definitely not the kill switch as it momentarily has a spark and engine does run for about 1 second.

Boat has been running fine the last 4 times on the new EMM. In searching the net, I did find a...

Crankshaft position sensor shows 930 ohms (should be between 1000 and 1200 per manual).
Would the 40 v off the regulator be displayed on the diagnostic software?
I did not think this motor had a...

Almost did that this morning when it decided to quit! Caught myself just in time....

I am beginning to think my motor is possessed! First, I get the 3 light salute on tach, resulting in sending the EMM to DFI the...

Engine is 2002 Evinrude 225, Model E225FPXSTM, serial number 04983661. EMM was rebuilt by DFI last month and tested good.

One week after re-installing EMM, batteries acted weak when cranking. ...

Follow up to the problem. DFI received the computer on Wednesday; called me on Friday to let me know it was complete and time to pay up! Back to me the next Tuesday and back on the motor! Ran it...

Thank you, both of ya! Computer arrived at DFI this morning, so now waiting to hear back on the diagnosis!
