1984 Evinrude 15 hp. Been working on this motor a while got everything going but it wont idle unless choked. Did a carb rebuild , new fuel lines , and cam follower and roller. Runs good at higher throttle but wont idle unless choked. I took off the fuel pump and checked it. It seems to be good. Another question I have is , I replaced the starter recoil. The red plastic piece on the side is suppose to have what looks like a thin spring or metal wire that goes from it to the metal casing that the recoil spring sits in. Mine is broke and mostly missing. I cant find this part. Is there a way to make one or is this piece even needed. Ive been starting the motor without it. Thanks in advance for any info.
