Hi y’all,
I have a 1974 6 hp evinrude fisherman. Everything was working fine until this last weekend when I took it out. Starts just fine 2 pulls open choke. However, when I was coming back in to trailer the boat. The engine seemed to not run on WOT. While on WOT it seems to be sluggish very sluggish. I hear it want to kick up in RPMs. Like if something is preventing it from reaching its proper RPMs. but it feels to me like it is stuck. Back home I ran it inside a barrel and it seems just fine. Seems to me it’s when it’s loaded it does this. Not sure what’s going on. I’m thinking of doing a carb rebuild, Please let me know your thoughts. Thank you!
