"I have a 2000 115 evinrude fi
"I have a 2000 115 evinrude ficht mounted on a R72 sport ranger bass boat. I bought both used last year and have had problems with the motor since I had it.
My problem is hard to start and stay running and sometimes idles very rough and not at all. After I hit about 1200 RPM no problem runs like a champ.
Been to three dealers last year and after $2500 later no change. That included a new upper and lower fuel pump new compasitor, new stator, and of course shop time. Compression is all perfect and the motor only had about 200 hrs when I bought it. I talked to the place that rebuilds the computer and they feel it is not a computer issue but would be happy to sell me a new one for $650.
I am at a loss and my wife said she don't want me spending more money on fixing it.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Someone mentioned motor height and another mentioned dyno testing.
I know there has been issues in the past with this model motor have read plenty about them but would appreciate input. Thank You Pete in Wisconsin."
