I have a 1996 evinrude 70hp motor that i just rebuilt the carbs on. Took it out fishing the other day and the motor ran perfect. on the way in the motor shut off while going wot so put it in neutral and it started right away. after the shut off i noticed a little knocking while the motor was in nuetral but went away while it was in gear. not sure what would be causing the noise checked the comp. and it was 120 on all three cylinders. any advice would be great thanks.

Do you think you may have hit something? Inspect your engine to look for any clues, might want to check your flywheel nut & key, test run engine on muffs and look , listen , and feel for any signs of trouble. My guess is you will find something amiss...

thanks for the advice checked the motor ran it on muffs and it is less noticible out of the water. I checked the flywheel and it seems of, but i did notice that when i wiggle the flywheel i can here a knocking noise from underneath it not sure if thats normal or not.
