1985 evinrude 40hp

Starts and idles ok, no fuel leaks, new fiuel pump and powerpack and plugs compression 135 on both cyls. and I just cleaned the carbs, really clean, the float needles looked new, orifices looked good..........But


When my motor dies after trying to advance the throttle, just a bit as I'm on muffs, I hear a gurgling sound comming from either the powerhead or carbs (still not sure) for about 10 seconds or so. What could it be?

Likely water gurgling out of the power head. I've heard the same noise before.

So the gurgling is normal right?

Soaking the carbs now and will pick up a couple rebuild kits Monday.

Going to change out the fuel lines too and then hopefully............
