1980 Evinrude 4.5

[Jeff Nichols]

I just bought this boat and motor. The motor would not start initially until I cleaned the bowl on the carburetor. It has an integrated fuel tank. It fired right up, ran great. Took it to the lake and it ran for about 10-15 minutes then died. After it sits for a minute or two it will fire back up and may only run 2-4 minutes then die again. I put new fuel lines on it also. I do not see any type of priming bulb. And I do have the vent open on the tank.

Any and all help is greatly appreciated.

Vent blocked ??? Try taking the cap off.

Did you change the fuel filter ?

Gravity fed so no priming bulb but the bladder, #28, acts as a fuel pump
