My evinrude 18 won't start. Model is 15016-11522. This model is shown as 1956 year, but engine cover would indicate the engine is 1965. This confuses me. New plugs are gapped at .030. Mixture is mixxed to 50-1. Getting spark, but, just won't start.
 
Better check your gas mixture ratio, I thought motors that old ran
16to1 or 24to1.
I'm not an expert but thought I'd throw that in.
Good Luck

Check the welsh plug on the engine block. If your hood is fiberglass it will not fit the 56 Fastwin which had the metal hood split front to rear and screwed on. However the transom clamp with the id tag would interchange. The 15016 is a 15 HP model. On the lower unit the shift pivot of the 15016 is pinned inside the unit while the 65 model has the screw going thru the side of the unit. The 65 model is 18502.
