But but KKKrause says clean the carb. He should know. He has the blood of an Evinrude dealer coursing through his veins. :-) |

The last stroking you did was during your army maneuver exercises, eh Johnny? Wasn't Johnny also wondering about spraying WD-40 into his outboard to "winterize" it? |

That was a question my Netherland's friend had. How are your owls? Red barn need any paint yet? Income taxes paid yet? How about all those soldiers you found that had been left behind by their units? What organization was that again? See, Harry, I don't have a problem addressing your questions. Wonder why you have such a problem. -- Ban idiots, not guns! |

Guys, guys. This was a nice congenial boater thread. No need to ruin it. Ryan is asking good questions and should receive good answers.
Now back to Evinrudes. I have heard that the reeds can deteriorate over time. But sometimes they can build up with carbon not allowing them to seal correctly. Regardless, I believe that the reed is on track with the troubleshooting. |

As soon as you ask a question I considering worth answering, I'll consider answering it. Meanwhile, watch out for poisonous snakes swimming in that river. I wouldn't want one of them to bite you and die. |

But so far, the folks actually responding to my questions have been very helpful. I'm going to put the old girl in the water and spray some seafoam directly into the carb while she's running. I know its a 45 year old motor and the more I research, the more likely it is that the reeds have deteriorated, but a can of SeaFoam is pretty cheap and easy to try before I start dismantling the engine. The rich folk who live on the lake are gonna love my white smoke. lol Ryan |

Good luck with it Ryan. Old Evinrudes are tough engines. And the seafoam can't hurt. And if it does need reeds somebody has them.
But as you can imagine new parts are getting tougher to find. But they can be had. |

It might be a good winter project if you are in a winter place. I nursed my old 2 stroke 75 along for quite a while before I finally bit the bullet. I still ended up selling it and buying a 4 stroke but it was running well enough to get a grand for it. PS I apologize for the people who garbaged up your thread. Usually they can be a little more polite when there is a serious boat conversation going on. Guys cut it out. We have plenty of flame threads you can use. |

But they can be had. I would start with Don at outboardparts.com. He knows a lot about these old motors and had a pretty good supply of parts every time I have looked for something.. |
