- I am having a problem with a 1981 Evinrude 140 (non-VRO).
- It starts fine, runs okay, accelerates fine, but after a few
- seconds at high speed it drops dead - doesn't run rough or cough,
- just stops cold. It restarts fine.
- Any ideas? I suspect the fuel pump. I was alone with it so I couldn't
- pump the primer bulb while it was running to test this theory. What
- else should I look for?? The boat is drydocked now until spring.
