Hello everyone,
I purchased an older boat some time ago that came with an Evinrude 18hp Fastwin motor. The serial number stamped on the plate reads: E0002859. All the guides I have found available do not list these numbers making it difficult to find needed parts. The issue I'm having is although the motor runs sweet at higher rpm, the idle speed required for trolling spits & sputters through the carb. The carb stamp on the side of the housing reads: 315082-D4. My questions please are what year is this motor & is there a replacement carburetor available? Thank you kindly for any assistance that you could offer!
