" I have, as the subject line
" I have, as the subject line suggests, a 1975 Evinrude 15HP outboard that will not start. It started hard last year when I got it, but it would run then. This year, I tried to start it and got a lot of black, oily fuel dripping out around the prop. I found a broken clamp on the fuel line; fixing this solved that problem. However, the motor will still not start.
I am getting fuel to the carb; hitting the electric start sucks the drop of gas into the carb, so I think that I am getting good vacuum. I seem to be getting spark, but I am not sure how strong. The motor will simply not fire.
Any help is most appreciated! "
