Have a 70 HP 1991 Evinrude that previously would idle fine but would not pick up speed when in gear. Replaced fuel pump and now engine will not idle or run unless the choke is continuously pressed. I've looked at previous posts and symptoms point to either a air leak in the fuel line or carb rebuild. Is there anyway to confirm which problem I might have? I've looked over all the connections in the fuel line and pump and unless a very small leak would cause this problem, didn't see anything obvious. Just want to make sure I do in fact have a carb problem before taking them apart.
