    Tell-Tale, How do I Tell?

    I ran a 15hp Ted Williams Eska (1976) today for the first time and it has a tell-tale which my old evinrude did not. I expected it to be like a pee-hole, but it wasn't.

    Evinrude bogging down..........?

    I have a 1963 evinrude 10hp outboard. I had trouble with it this year after it had set up for about three years(it would start, but bogged down and stalled unless the choke was constantly manipulated).
