Shouldn't you finish fixing Ranger520vx's Evinrude 60 before you start another job.

He needs to swap that stator, then it'll be fixed.

And if not then I give up.  I ain't making his problem MY problem. 😂

I agree with you wrench I think it's a stator problem. We did put the new stator they sent us on it still same problem runs with rectifier unhooked starts and dies with it hooked up. That's as far as we got. Going to put the original one back on when we get some time . Like I said original one checked good just had big crack in the plastic and was bulged up but going to see what it does.

Have you tried only disconnecting the gray tach lead ?   A bad tach can cause weird things.  Does the tach work?

Also should the carb openings be covered in oil like this. Or is the tank leaking?

It's ok, we do that around here 😂

Wrong tag, but I can tell by the pics which one we're dealing with now. 

Whenever you tilt the motor up you loose a few drops of fuel/oil out the carb throats so the dampness in the attenuator cover is nothing to be concerned about right now.  If it is excessive it could indicate a problem with the reeds....but let's not jump that far ahead just yet.  Let's verify compression and ignition output first.  

Still need the serial# so I can look up whether it is a CDM ignition or standard CDI.   Until you get me that, or a pic of the starboard side of the powerhead, we are just gonna talk about whatever. 🤣

Ok....CDM.   Things just got alot easier for you.   Just verify that compression is good, verify that you have good strong spark on all 3 cylinders at cranking speed, and verify that the charging system is doing its job.....Then you can know for sure that it is a fuel system issue.  

Inspect all your fuel hoses for kinks or leaks, and if there is none then it's time for a carb rebuild job and to refresh the fuel pump diaphragm.
