motor trouble
 

my motor will run fine for a while but when i get where im going and kill it, it wont start up unless i wait about 10-15 min afer i kill it. does anyone have an idea of whats wrong??

Sounds like a power pack issue.

.
 

the power pack on it is new.:confused:

Carbs or injection?

Fuel pump manual or electric?

manual start. the carbs are good. the motor runs fine when im going but if i kill it and try to start it up again it dont want to start. i have to wait a lil bit and then it'll start n run fine again. almost seems like it gets heated and then has to cool down to start it back up. i am not sure jus thinking over here.

Why I was asking about fuel delivery. Sounds almost like a vapor lock. Don't quote me but I've seen it do that in cars before and I know it's not a car but sounds similar in symptoms.

How about more info about the engine.
Brand, HP, carbed, permanent tank/6 gal. tank... ect.
Lot of time when the power pack goes out, one or more cylinders won't fire, or it won't start at all.
This sounds like fuel to me.
Could also be a flooding issue, if it is carbed.
If it is the newer electronic fuel injected and electronic ignition, it will be tough to figure out without a computer hooked up to it.

Running a yamaha 150 carbed that does the same thing. I believe it is getting flooded when try g to start since the choke is easily engaged when turning the key over.

it is a 1988 30hp evinrude. the power pack, spark plugs, and coil pack on it are all new. what do you mean by carbed??

Carburator, not fuel injected.

o, well no its not fuel injected then. could this be a problem cause of a bad water pump?

Not likely. I'd almost bet that it's fuel related. Either flooding or starvation.

floats may be getting stuck? just a guess...

When it happens next time, pull a plug out to see if its wet......I'd bet its soaked

soaked with what? gas?

It can be several things,without a mechanic looking at it its a guess. Sounds like carb or fuel pump problems.
