Reply To: 1964 28HP Evinrude starts and dies

Ok, so I got new coils, new points, new condensers, new OEM fuel pump, checked compression, changed plugs, and took carb apart ( cleaned it with carb cleaner and made sure the float was installed correctly). I adjusted the fuel saver rod, and checked all linkage.
Still have the same old problem. Starts and dies about 5 seconds later. One upgrade I didn’t mention before was that I did change the fuel bowl to the one from an electric start 1965 33HP, so that I could have an electric choke. I used all of the other internal parts from the 28HP carb with the new bowl that had the casting for the choke solenoid on the bottom.
Before I rip the carb off again let me know if this could possibly be a solution. I looked at the parts breakdowns between a 28 and 33HP carb and there were two different part numbers for the nozzle inside the carb bowl. The float part number is the same, as well as the needle and seat. The only difference is the nozzle. Could the 33HP nozzle be mated to the 33HP electric choke fuel bowl, and I have upset the bowl fuel flow by using a 28HP nozzle with a 33HP bowl? This could be a long shot, but I’m  running out of ideas.
Thanks,
