The Electronic Control Unit of an Evinrude Ficht has an on-board self-diagnostic system that monitors each of the signals from various sensors in your engine and stores a diagnostic code in memory when a problem is noted. These "trouble codes" are the outboard motor equivalent of the diagnostic codes an auto mechanic gets when he plugs the computer into your car. You can retrieve and interpret these trouble codes to guide you in troubleshooting your motor's problems without a computer or a mechanic.
Turn off the ignition switch to stop the motor. Turn the key back to the "On" position without starting the motor. Notice that the four LEDs in the warning gauge -- "Oil Level," "Water Temperature," "Check Engine" and "Oil Pressure" -- will light briefly and go out, one at a time, then begin to flash the trouble codes.
Watch the flashing trouble codes a second time to verify the information you recorded. Turn off the ignition. Compare the codes that flashed with the list of trouble codes to determine the beginning point of your search for a problem. here
Connect a garden hose to your motor flushing attachment and connect the flushing attachment to the motor's cooling water intakes. Turn the water on full force, and start the engine. Allow the engine to run at idle; the LEDs will go out within three minutes, if all is in order.
Count the flashing of the "Check Engine" light to determine what trouble codes the engine is showing. Interpret codes by counting the flashes. Notice that more than one trouble code may flash: a short pause separates the digits of the two-digit code. A longer pause warns of the start of a different trouble code. Record each code as it flashes -- it will repeat itself three times.
It it like it will not get enought fuel in starting.
battery is new big and +900A start current, engine cranking well. [links]
Engine run like charm but it is hard to star after not used 2-3 weeks.
Also if you stop it warm it will not start at first.
Saturday need start 5-6 times before it stay running.
Noticed that if pump manual pump in fuel line it will help it start and stay running.
When it stays running it will not stall. But after start it runs only 550-600rpm and it seems
no cold start program what keeps it higher rpm when just started.
What could be ?
if anyone has any thoughts it will be appreciated ! here

Doing this will confirm that the engine is not getting ready to blow up, or has a bad cylinder which is causing the issue.

Even though 1 or 2 cylinder’s are not firing correctly, the engine can bring those RPM’s up and keep it from dying.
Make sure that none of the plugs are grounded out. If they are too chalky, or won’t clean up, replace them. No need in going hog wild and tearing the engine apart to find out that it was a weak plug.
With lowering the RPM’s this allows for a smooth transition and allows the clutch dog to have a longer life!
Im quite sure that you know youre stuff, however, the ficht isnt a 4 stroke, it does consume oil, rather than just circulate it.

The fitch is a 2 stroke DFI. This is a Direct Fuel Injected engine that has a fuel injector where the spark plug usually is and the spark plug come in the side of the head. For this reason only AIR comes througt the crankcase on the Ficht. On the Mercury OPTIMAX it uses a compressor and injects air and fuel throught the injector. But also uses a similiar oil system. On a EFI (injectors located in front of the engine where the carbs are located ) and carbureted engine the fuel and air passes throught the crank case where the bearings are lubricated from the oil in the fuel. On the ficht, like mentioned above has a TOTALLY diffferent oil system. Real simple explaination. It has a oil injector on the engine that injects oil into the engine throught the crankcase and the fuel as mentioned before. It has a oil lift pump that circulates it from the oil tank on board to the oil injector and what is not used at that exact moment is put back into the tank. Just like the early fuel injection on car. You have a fuel supply to the injector rail and what is not injected into the engine is returned to the fuel tank. All of the oil gets consumed. I have actually worked on some of these engines so rest assured I know it is not a 4 stroke.
