Howdy everyone I just wanted to introduce myself, my name is Carl and I live in Northern California, I've been lurking on this board for a while and have been blown away with some of the projects I've seen.
I just recently got my hands on a 14ft flat bottom v hull with an Evinrude 18hp outboard. The motor ran alright at first but would occasionally cut out on me but would start back up and I'd be back on my way. This worked for about half a dozen outings until it wouldn't start and I had to paddle my way back. I haven't been able to start it since.
I was hoping you guys would could help me troubleshoot my problems and get me back on the water. I have no real mechanical experience but would like to believe I am a reasonably intelligent fellow that can follow directions well. (we'll find out I suppose...).
I'm not sure what year the outboard was made, I figured that would be a good place to start.
I took some pictures today. Thanks for looking.
