82 Evinrude 60 hp problem
 

A friend of mine at work has an 82 evinrude 60 hp that has been giving him a problem.The motor starts and runs fine ,accelerates fine gets on plane then motors quits and will not restart for several hours. So far he has tried
coils,stator and rectifier,multiple gas tanks and replaced lines,compression is good,fresh fuel.
Any help appreciated ,thanks.

Maybe the fuel pump cant keep up at those higher rpm's. Have someone squeeze the primer bulb when the problem occurs. If this solves the issue, rebuild/replace the fuel pump.

over heating?????

check the compression, hot and cold

Thanks for the ideas guys.
he says its not overheating,the head is still only warm to the touch when it happens,he is going to check the compression hot and try some starting fluid when it occurs also. He says he has been unable to duplicate it with the muffs on,needs to be in the water with a load on the engine,which sucks for obvious reasons.
He is going to run if for a good while and see if the compression drops though.
