I've got a '87 Evinrude 25hp.
This thing has been a battle since day one. Started with headgasket, exhaust cover gasket, primer solenoid rebuild, carb clean, then carb rebuild.
Now I've finally got it to were it will run great PAST 1/8th throttle, but it will not idle worth 2 pennies, nor does it want to start without fast idle lever wide open, then I have to quickly shut fast idle lever and slam her into gear. Then it runs fine. Will troll in gear at 1/8th of throttle no problem. No hiccups at high rpm whatsoever.
I've got the timing set correctly and slow speed jet set at 1 1/2 out. Could this be a weak fuel pump problem?
Carb was completely cleaned and rebuilt. Float is set parallel with gasket surface, all orifices cleaned out, etc etc. New fuel lines, new primer..
Thanks,
Adam.
