I recently purchased an old Evinrude Mate 2 hp 2202m. It is in very nice condition. The guy I bought it from started it for me in a barrel. It would only run at full throttle and choked, but the engine itself sounded healthy so I bought it figuring a good cleaning and rebuild kit would do the trick, which it did. I also put the right plug in and set the plug gap properly. I can tune and use the low end, but when I open up the top end it starts to pick up for a couple seconds then boggs way down and will run that way until the high jet is opened too far, the choke is touched, or you try turning it back to the the slow side, they all cause it to die. Everything under the flywheel looks to be in very clean condition, but have a Nova II ordered just because I hate points. The impeller is still soft and kicks water fine so I don't think it is heat related. Could it maybe be an issue with the reeds? I'm just glad I got it fairly cheap. lol
