    Default 1964 Fisherman only runs WOT

    Hey guys,
    I have a 1964 Evinrude Fisherman that only wants to run WOT. As soon as you back it off it wants to die unless you choke it. Any suggestions?
    Thanks,
    Ken

    Sounds like your carb needs to be overhauled.

    I rebuilt the carb a couple yrs ago and it ran great except for the last time I took it out. Maybe some dirt in a needle? It runs ok wide open, but thats all.
