Reply To: Carb issues Evinrude 15 HP

I used new nozzle 0397189 for 6-8HP that is available and $28+.I did find correct new part be he wanted $80 for it.They do NOT come with high speed jet anyway,I just threaded my old one in it.It is identical plastic part as far as I can tell and have been told either will work.I did not use old hose although it looked fine.I used new heavy wall black hose from the current OMC kit not Sierra but was so much heavier rubber that old one or it or old hose just shrunk.The center hole in new hose was tiny and difficult to slide on.
Although I feel I did proper Lynch/Synch when you idle my motor it has to open past fully closed butterfly to run.
I will put motor in barrel and use my thermometer to try to see what it goes to.Thought about doing like 70 Impala and putting it in pot water with thermometer to determine when it opens,also want to look for debris that could do as you say and hold it open.Due to pictures showing it is black plastic and not brass leary about putting it in a cooking pot.
Not only is it need choke on to start if I lean it up where it idles better if idled for a short while it will die so I turned just enough richer to run extended idling.
I am not savvy enough on computer to add a video here.
Thanks Again!!
