Hi jbs<br />You will have to look for a model #. Somethiing like E75ECO. You will need to determine if you are still using the oil injection feature (VRO). You might want to ask your local dealer to order you up an operators manual. I know I hate to read the book first too.

sounds like they didn't run all the fuel out before it sat. You most likely have varnish in that carb. Take it off and get a rebuild kit (probably less than 25 dollars) and rebuild it. There is not much to it. Make sure that the high speed jet is perfectly clean.

To tell the age of an evinrude look at the model and serial numbers<br />Example; E35ELENS Mod. no.<br />The E says its an Evirude<br />35 says it's a 35 H.P.<br />the next E says its an electric start<br />the L says its a long shaft<br />the next two letters tell the year<br />I N T R O D U C E S<br />1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0<br />so EN says it's a 1992<br />The last letter is an OEM designation that you usually don't have to worry about
