    I have modfied a few  by filling the right side channel  and removing  the flapper valve but that procedure apparently  limits the purging of excess fuel oil in the corresponding crankcase half . I resold all those engines and never realy used a modified one much…incl the fD pictured above.  Did not know thay  had the Evinrude version of the Johnson bible but being close cousins I have always used the johnson one.  Good to know !

    Can’t say purging or lack of is the problem but the book covers the need to clear out the side purge drain  (while in there doing the  pump mod).
