" Hello- I have a 1985 Evinrud
" Hello- I have a 1985 Evinrude 25HP motor that I just bought. I put it in the water for the first time on Saturday. Before I ran it, I cleaned out the carb and installed new plugs. The engine ran great until I shut it down. It then did not want to start unless I held the throttle open. The engine also ran rough, smoking, and it would not idle. According to my GPS, I lost about 5MPH on the top end as well. Does anyone have any idea what this could be?
The only variable I do know is that I am running Champion plugs that do not have the "Q" as the first digit. My local marine shop gave me a paart number with the "Q" but the plugs I already had in it did not. Does anyonee know what the "Q" means?
Thank you for your help.
