Re: Evinrude 9.5

Can you elaborate on how it’s running at low RPM? Stalling out via a sneeze? Dying off slowly or say, rapidly (as in below a certain RPM it just dies off)?

A bad low idle could be due to an exhaust leak from the skirt (if the cover is on), or something as simple as a spec of dirt in the low-speed orifice/jets/venturi bleed holes. Or the timing is wrong…or an ignition issue…or someone goofed up carb air passages…or many other things.

As you probably already know, you have to go through the diagnostic process to figure out the route of the problem. Plenty of folks here with a lot more knowledge than me, but figured I’d offer up my $0.02.
