[QUOTE="MrSimon, post: 267682, member: 5461"] 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? [/QUOTE]
