HI All,
I have a 1984 Evinrude 6 HP. motor model # E6RCRM.
I removed the carb to clean it, changed the float, needle/ seat and gaskets. I installed the carb back on the motor and now I can not get it to run good. It will start for a few seconds. Some times as long as 15-20. I can move the throttle handle and all seems fine then it just shuts down.
This motor has a rich-lean knob on the front. I did not pay attention to where the screw was when I took it apart and can not find any info on where it should be set. I am sure I have turned the screw a few turns in each direction (knob removed) and have lost track of where it should be.
Any info you could give me would be great. I am hoping to be able to use the motor in the next few days.
Thanks in advance, Ed
