Re: 1969 Evinrude Fastwin 18hp fuel problem more
Did anyone finally figure out the problem with this motor, I have the exact same problem with a 1962 18hp Evinrude and have done everything I can think of. [links]
It sounds like you have covered most of the things that usually cause this sort of problem. The one thing you haven't done is plug wires. You may want to look at putting a fresh set of wires on.
The high speed jet is not adjustable. It should be screwed in fully and snuggly. The low speed is adjustable and should initially be 1.5 turns out. Did you not seat the high speed one fully? That could be the issue. more
When you try to start your snowmobile and the engine cranks but won't start, or it turns over but won't start, you may have a bad fuel pump. If your engine has trouble starting, check the spark plugs and the timing belt as well to ensure that you don't have an easier fix than you thought. If those items are in working order, replace the fuel pump. [links]
A fuel pump is an important item in any automotive vehicle, from pickup trucks to snowmobiles. If the fuel pump begins to fail, you must replace it; without it, your fuel won't get to the engine and the vehicle won't run. Fortunately you can heed some warning signs that your fuel pump is going bad. more
Whenever you experience a loss of power, especially at a high speed or when you're climbing a hill, the problem typically occurs within the fuel system -- often something other than the fuel pump. However, if you're intermittently losing power while running your snowmobile and you can determine that the problem isn't occurring with the fuel filter, your fuel pump is likely starting to go out. Replace it post haste.
When you apply the accelerator to drive away from a dead stop, your fuel pump must deliver fuel to the engine so you can drive off. If your fuel pump is going bad, your engine will stutter because the pump won't get the fuel to the accelerating motor; in this case, you'll go for a moment, stop and then take off again. This scenario could also point toa bad oxygen sensor; if not, the problem likely lies with your fuel pump. [links]

Good point, forgot about the tank….But, the tank is useless if it is gummed up/rusted on the inside… more
Down here, they are kinda all around and are not in bad shape because it’s fairly dry heat.
That’s not a 2-line pressure tank and won’t work with that motor unless you plan to convert the motor to run on a single line standard tank like that. Still, $20 for that tank is a good deal – it looks to be in great shape. The fuel pump conversion on that motor is easy to do. [links]
