Long time reader, first time poster.
I have a 1974 evinrude 70hp 3 cyl. that was willed to me. My son and I have been trying to raise it from the dead as a project. We've rebuilt carbs, replaced impeller, new plugs & wires, new fuel lines & tank. We've tried to start motor and we get a slow crank as if it's dead battery or bad starter. I had starter tested (they said didn't have enough torque to spin motor fast enough). We replaced starter and still have slow crank. I even bypassed wiring by putting jumper cables directly on starter and grounding on block. the motor spins freely with plugs removed.
At this point Im looking for any advice.
