1978 Evinrude, sat for 8 yrs, cleaned carbs, new plugs and gas, motor miss fires at idle and some times seems to preignition which causes the engine to dead stop, at top speed you have to baby it to get there. I have also replaced all the fuel lines and squeeze primer bulb. motor seems to start easy, I have since removed the low and high speed jet covers and blew them with compressor, also rebuilt fuel pump, the motor smokes a lot at a 50 to1 mix but i also added some carb cleaner to the gas, it is a 76 135 hp, the fuel take vent is clear, at high speed it will starve for gas and if I choke it it will pick right back up
