"85 doesn't sound too bad

"85 doesn't sound too bad especially if they are the same.

Correct fuel mix is 24:1 for a 1962 model see http://www.evinrude.com/en-US/About.Us/FAQ/Oil.Fuel.htm"

vics would you happen to know

vics would you happen to know the amount of turns out for the lean and rich adjustment on this motor thanks for your previous reply(the both cyl are the same) this motor will run for short period and quit then will not start for some time

"Joe Reeves carb needle adjust

"Joe Reeves carb needle adjustments instructions can be found HERE I think the initial settings he gives will apply but I believe on older engines they may be less.

I'd be checking the ignition system to make sure there are good sparks, condition of coils, plugs etc and fuel system to ensure flow of fuel (tank vent etc) even for the possibility of the float valve not closing and allowing flooding."
