I have an 1988 Evinrude 15 hp long shaft ran it out of fuel after use then it would not start. checked and cleaned plugs. if I let it set for a day it starts then runs rough after a while and will not start again for a few days. when it does start runs has to warm up before I can shift into gear or it stalls. I tried different fuel tanks and hoses. I have a good flow of fuel checked fuel screen at pump clean also when I removed fuel pump cover it sprayed fuel as soon as I losened it up. I tried a small amount of starter fluid once and it made no difference. an article meantioned you can use starter fluid in small amounts once as it has no lubrication qualities. I think it is a dirty or plugged carberator.
