Hey guys, first time poster, I have seen some great advice dished out here, I don't know where else to turn.
I recently purchased a 1972 Evinrude 9.5 Sportwin outboard from a buddy, it was his grandfathers and had set up for the last 12 years without being ran. It cranked up immediately for me but had a tendency to bog when I gave it throttle and then just to quit and not want to crank for about 30 minutes. I replaced the plugs with NGKs, got a new gas tank, blew out the fuel filter screen, and purchased a carb rebuild kit. I installed the rebuild kit to the best of my ability.....blew out the ports, soaked it in carb cleaner, replaced all of the parts that were applicable in the kit. I took it out and here is what it is doing now...... It cranks right up no problem and even idles pretty well. When I try to get it on step though it bogs and then will rev slightly then bog then rev slightly and bog and so on and so on. It won't get on plane. I don't know if this is enough info for a diagnostic but I would certainly appreciate any help in the matter. I look forward to any advice. Also, not sure I know exactly what to turn the fuel mixture dial to? I have played with it a little but it doesn't seem to make that much of a difference.
