Hello all,
I recently have been having issues with my 1980 115 Evinrude (E115TLCSA) while accelerating under load. It runs great with muffs and idles great in the water but as soon as the throttle goes down it bogs bad and barely stays running. After reading through several posts on this issue I have concluded that this is most likely a fuel problem. I am going to remove and rebuild the carbs as I don't believe that this has EVER been done and I have already replaced the fuel pump, cleaned out the fuel tank, and replaced the bulb and fuel lines to the motor as they were old and brittle.
My first question is where can I get new fuel lines for ON the motor itself? The majority of these are brittle and leaking fuel and need to be replaced. I have searched around and have found nothing on this...
Is there a kit for the whole motor or will I have to get a roll and cut my own lengths? Also, is there anything specific that I should consider when rebuilding these carbs? They seem pretty straight forward but it will be my first time doing it so any advice or pointers is welcomed!
I checked the spark on all four cylinders and there was a nice blue flash & crack on each one. Additionally I performed a compression test and all cylinders were between 125 and 130 psi cold (I know that I should have brought the temp to normal operating but I was limited on time). Is there anything else that I should check that could cause this issue?
This motor was my grandfathers and has low hours on it in spite of its age. This is the first real issue that I have had with this motor and I would like to keep it looking and running great for years to come so any input would be appreciated! Thanks!
