1975 40HP evinrude (40554c)
The problems started last weekend with the engine not revving while at WOT. It ran great through about four gallons of gas then started giving me trouble. When set to WOT the engine acts like it is set to about 20%. We brought it in and placed it in a trashcan and can now see fuel running out of the carb (at the air intake) when trying to start it. In order to get it to start we have to go 1/2 throttle, choke until it fires then it will run stable at a low RPM without the choke.
I just put a fresh carb kit in it about one month ago (maybe 15-20 hours) and has run great until now.
Any help would be greatly apperciated, the summer is getting away from me fast
