Hello all.
I have a 1978 Evinrude 115 hp outboard. It hasn't been started in a few years, so of course I expected problems.
I took apart the carbs, and cleaned them thoroughly. They actually looked pretty good! I was pleased to say the least.
I cleaned the gas tank, and filled it full of 2 stroke mix gas. Put on a fresh marine battery, and got to cranking... Nothing...
Turns out only one cylinder is firing. The other 3 have no spark. So I've got gas, and plenty of air, only missing spark. Any ideas?
I'm about to pull out the manual and start troubleshooting...
