"Just got into boating and haven't a clue.
I was told this motor needs a carb. kit, tell me what you think. At full throttle, speeds are around 2mph, motor sputters then will stall after 10 minutes or so, but will start right back up without any problem. When I look under the cover everything is soaked with fuel. I was also told that the compression was at 124(and that this was satisfactory). The motor is a 1987 evinrude 28hp model# E28ESLCUC. If it is the carb. what should I expect to pay someone to rebuild/new one. Thanks a bunch"
