Re: 1962 evinrude 18hp - flooded so bad gas drips out exhaust
Update....
I was able to isolate the problem. No Spark. So... I pulled the flywheel and found the woodruff (spelling?) key was sheared. I replaced it for 0.29 and we're back in business. I tightened the flywheel nut to 65 ft lbs.
My understanding is that the cause of this was likely the previous person that worked on this didn't tighten the flywheel nut properly. Correct?
Thank you all for all of your support on this issue!
