Re: Problems with 86 Evinrude 70hp
Took it out yesterday and i had to mess with the linkage for a while to get it to start. Got it running but runs the same. I still have to open the carbs a little for it to idle, why would this be? When accelerating from idle, if i just throw the throttle down, it takes off, I do not have a tach so i am not certain at what RPM the motor is dying out. But At idle it is strong, then when i shift into gear it drops alot of RPM's, I would assume this is normal because of the load being put on it, or should it stay the same?
