WHY DOES MY 45 HP 50 CLASSICK RUN FOR ABOUT 4 OR5 HUNDRED YARDS AND DIES BUT WILL START RITE BACK UP AND GO AGAIN FOR ANOTHE R4 OR 5 HUNDRED YARDS AND THE SAME THING
@@74nova36thank you. I just got mine from my dad and it hasn’t run in about 15 years. Put in new gas and runs for about 1-5 seconds. I’ve opened the throttle a bit and get it for 20 seconds. It isn’t spitting water so I need to check out the impeller as well
You may not have the outboard anymore, however this info might help someone else. Seems like a Fuel delivery problem. #1: the fuel primer bulb should always remain hard, if not you have an air leak between the fuel tank and motor. Replace your connectors. #2: You should never see wetness around or behind the carbs, if so you have air leaks. replace your carb fuel lines, fuel filter, and use the correct zip-ties. #3: Bad fuel lines, they can collapse, and they can disintegrate internally leaving the carbs to get flooded with debris commonly as black rubber specs. Ethanol eats up and destroys pre-ethanol fuel lines and they all need to be changed out. First be sure your fuel lines don’t have air leaks. Typical zip-ties have a square head, fuel line zip-ties are rounded on the back of the head to create a good 360 degree tight fit. Standard square zip-ties will create a pinch point that will cause the smallest air leak that is difficult to detect. Go to Maxrules.com for your outboard parts he’s got the easiest website to navigate, and the best deals for these older outboards. #4: clean your carbs and replace all gaskets. Plenty of vids for this task. This entire task doesn’t cost much in parts, once complete you should have a firm primer bulb that will stay hard for weeks at a time due to no leaks, no wetness around the carbs, and you’ll have good fuel flow in the carbs.
What a nice sound
propeller ?

I’d wager a stuck float or otherwise a fuel pump unable to fill the bowl fast enough.
