    Glad you got the 74 working correctly, that carb mixing pocket surely was a mess! Did you ever find/remove the pesky needle valve seal? That crusty mixing pocket sure looked like the problem area though…..

    There actually was no needle valve seal in the bottom (I was able to use the camera and flash of my phone to catch a glimpse of the inside of that deep hole)

    Thanks for the tips on the ’81 as well. Myself, I got a 1961 Evinrude 18 hp I’m working on next. If anyone has any references/videos or tips before I get started on that, I’ve already learned a ton from this thread. I’m excited to give it another try!
