starting 9.5 evinrude

[M.A.Rotter]

I was given a 1970 9.5 evinrude. It gets great spark but will not run on fuel supply. It will run while spraying starting fluid in it but will not continue if I quit spraying. The carb is good & clean, I have fresh fuel in it. The guy that gave it to me had it running just over a year ago after he completely rebuilt it.

Hey M. A.,<br />If you're sure the carb is thoroughly clean, check the fuel system from tank pickup to carb. I suspect the fuel pump. <br />Backlash

It sure sounds like the jets are plugged.If that motor hasn't been ran for a year or more you can just about bet that is your problem since the motor was running when it was set up.<br /><br />Take it easy on the starting fluid too..... Bad for outboard motors.<br /><br />

Re: starting 9.5 evinrude

How do I clean the jets? I pulled the carb apart and checked it over real close and did not see where the jets were. Can you help? I am not the keenest but can get it apart and back together.<br /><br />Thanks
