Hi all...
I have a 50173S 1971 Evinrude with the Selectric remote. Great looking retro style. I have it running. Cleaned the carbs, replaced the low idle air screws new. Fires right up but shakes. I let it warm up and then start dialing in the screws. I seem to have them almost seated and it still runs rich and will foul the lower spark plug or at least it looks black and wet. I can't seem to get this correct. Not sure what else I should look for. When I cleaned the carbs I tried to also set the float from the service manuals instructions. I don't do the measurement of it as it suggests but tried to get them flat. Would I tiny bit off cause the lower carb to get too much fuel? Anyway, I'm stumped. I ha e not attempted to get it timed because it looks a little difficult to do. But if that is what it is, then I will attempt that next. Any other things I should look for?
Thanks for any help out there...
