Hi there, my first post though I have been lurking for a bit. Anyway I have a 1995 Evinrude 115hp. OceanPro.
I have replaced the impellor (sprays 6' if I turn the nozzle out), lower unit lube, etc. New gauges, circuit breakers and wiring.
New batteries x 2 (8 months).
New items -
New spark plugs.
New thermostats.
Carb kits w/ new floats x 4
New fuel lines from tank
New anti-syphon at tank.
New filter/separator
New o-rings in fuel manifold (were leaking).
Fresh gas (1 week)
Anyway I think you get the idea. It sat for a few years but had no problems other than excess smoke prior.
Now, the motor started up, smoked like crazy (partially due to oil I sprayed in cylinders months before to avoid possible corrosion), ran good in a barrel at 1000 rpm for about 5 minutes, smoke reduced to almost nil, and then oh-oh. Couple of bucking coughs then a huge cloud of smoke again. I shut it down.
Main question, do I need to readjust idle screws though I didn't touch them during rebuild? Idle speed?
2nd question, should I replace fuel line from bulb to VRO? I didn't see any real problem with other replaced lines.
I have a '92-96 Seloc manual (hmmm) and 1990 Service manual for 120hp 90 degree loopers. I can't seem to find answers in either, lol.
