Just picked up a 1998 Sprint 207DC PRO with a 1998 225 Evinrude Vindicator
Run fine at the test run prior to paying for the beast ,jumped out of the hole great,topped out at 70mph(speedo) 5800rpm, idled down nice and smooth no smoke.
Brought it home the next day, cleaned er up headed to the lake and #$@$%@%
Did not want to start, idled like a blender.smoked more than diesel engine ,would not plane properly and could not break 4000RPM...
I noticed the guy played under the hood with the primer and he did not use the saftey lanyard ??? When I took it out I used the safety lanyard and it appeared as if it was depressing the key so I think I was running the primer and flooding it.
Brought er home cleaned the Smoke/Oil of the motor and boat, put in NEW PLUGS,Set the Primer to RUN Position, Added BRP CARBON GUARD. I am going to try to run this weekend but I am almost scared...Figured I would not attached Lanyard and run a Tank of SUPER...Any guesses or hints what else I can do..Not sure what happen from the Test Run day to the Purchase day ( 2 day gap) that she wont run right......HELP HELP
