I spend sometime in cold weather conditions with<br />my 85 evinrude 120vro It seems it doesnt like to<br />idle very well in cold weather and smokes and farts and stalls. I was thinkn there might be a <br />solution to make it run better. It does run great<br />at higher rpms, but I could do without the stallin<br />at idle.When the temperature is warm it runs great.

Replace or at least check your thermostats. They could be stuck open.

Re: Running in cold temp.

I checked both thermostats and they are closed <br />when cold. And open up fine in hot water, I <br />put them in a pot of hot water to see if they <br />operated ok. I think the motor should run good <br />even in cold temperatures. But maybe it is <br />characteristic of this motor. I would think that<br />these motors are used up north in a much colder<br />enviroment than here. Maybe its some kind of carb<br />problem.?
