Reply To: 1967 Evinrude Lightwin won’t start/run

fleetwin, I just put the carb back on the motor, without the silencer.

As you suggested, I opened the vent and petcock to let the bowl fill, then removed the drain plug, and got a very healthy torrent of fuel.

Then I tried to start the motor again, with the low speed needle out 1.25 turns. It’s *very* close, much closer than my last attempt.

Here’s a video of my attempt, with some fiddling with the choke and low-speed needle.

I do note now that there’s some fuel visible in the throat body, and when I removed a spark plug, the cylinder behind it looked wet.
