Re: 1948 Evinrude Sportwin 4423 Revisited

Garry, I just took the carb off and confirmed that the venturi and
needle seat are in place. The needle seat is in the hole about 1-1/2".
Too far down the rabbit hole to tell if it’s damaged.
How was it extracted? It’s a blind hole, so there’s no driving it out
from the back side. I replaced the hardened rubber seal on the adj. needle
with some O-rings, and wrapped some thread on the needle threads
as the needle was a little loose in the hole.
Also verified that the slower the speed selected, the further the
air shutter is opened. Not much else I can do without new parts.
Got Irgie’s phone number? 🙂
P.S.- Will report back after the test run!

Prepare to be boarded!
