I have a 1977 55hp Evinrude (new to me) which will not stay idling. It's very hard to get to start, and when it does, I have to rev it quite high to keep it running. Then once the rpm come down low enough, I have to put it in gear and nail the throttle, other wise it'll die. Sometimes it takes quite a while for the rpm to come down. At WOT it runs great! I'm thinking of rebuilding the carbs......how likely is it to fix my idle problem? I have already rebuilt the fuel pump. Thanks!
