1973 50hp Evinrude issues

OK problem is fixed. The carb was good. So I downloaded the repair manual for my engine.
I found that the fuel air mixture was WAY out. Also had to adjust the linkage in order to get it to idle. Now it idles perfect, and revs from the helm perfectly. I'm a happy camper and ready to go out fishing!

Oh and just FYI I did all this with the motor in a drum of water.

I will be bringing my tools with me when I get back on the lake in case I have to do adjustments at WOT.

Thanks for all the help.

Good to know you got it all fixed up! Now's the time to take it for a spin...
