My grandfather gave me a 1984 2HP Evinrude (E2RCRS).
As a learning project I bought the following parts and installed them:
Head gasket
Carb kit including float and needle
Impeller
Spark plug
Plug wire and boot
Fuel hose
After that it started but ran kind of rough. I could play with the carb needles to smooth it out a bit, but it never ran well and wouldn't rev up to WOT.
So I took the carb down again and soaked it for a few days and put in a new kit. Its spotless.
Started it up again and it ran better, but still had issues. I played with the needles to get it to run WOT which it did quite smoothly for about 10 seconds then stalled out and wouldn't start again.
So I did the carb AGAIN, put in a new ignition coil, new point, new condenser, new complete plug wire assembly.
Now it won't start at all.
I have very strong spark and decent compression, so I assume its a fuel issue.
If I pull the lower (high speed) needle gas pours out so I know its at least getting to the lower part of the carb.
Any thoughts?
