This is a 1980 15 hp Evinrude that runs strong above idle.
I have had the carb apart and the idle circuit is clean (spotless)
When I come down to idle the engine loads up and smokes bad then slowly
grinds to a halt. I have to open the throttle to get it started and it starts easy.
I can find a place that it will run slower but to stay there I must close the low speed adjustment off. If i open it, even just a little, will load up and stall.
I seems to me it never stops getting gas from the main jet. I have the float (cork) adjusted level inverted. The float does not seem saturated if it was that would raise the bowl level and make it run rich ....maybe
I am a musky fisher and troll a bunch so I need this to idle smooth.
Any ideas?
