Hello,
I have a 1991 25hp Evinrude motor model E25REIE. It was purchased
about two years ago on Ebay. It has run great up until this year. My
family and I were fishing in Lake Lanier and we were getting into
shallow water. The motor was not running. Before the foot drug bottom
I tilted the motor up. We fished a while longer and I lowered the
motor and cranked it up. The motor started like it wanted to go wide
open but would cut out and sputter. Then feel like it wanted to go
wide open then started cutting out and sputtering again. I thought it
was an air leak in the fuel system.
I did take the cover off and pumped the gas line bulb and saw gas
leaking from the round thing that is part of the fuel pump where the
gas line connects to the pump.
Since then I have replaced the fuel pump, but it still does the same
thing. Also I have replaced the gas line, gas tank, rebuilt the
carburetor, bought new speak plugs. When I put the new speak plugs in
it did seem to fix the problem. It ran wide open far about five
hundred feet before it started cutting out and sputtering and doing
the same old thing.
Can anyone help? I want my fast motor back!

Sincerely,

Benjamin
