quote FrankR:
Is the little clip installed correctly to the float valve and float? Is the bowl vent clear (mud daubers)? You mentioned the primer bulb–what’s with that? Have you converted it?
Once you figure out the carb flooding, your next item should be the ignition coils. Actually, that should have been #1. ALL 1957 Evinrudes have cracked coils, unless they have already been replaced. You are wasting your time until you do replace them.
Hey FrankR , you were right!! i removed the small plate took a peak at the coils and it has the original coils all cracked and disintegrated, i ordered a BRP OMC SysteMatched
Johnson Evinrude Tune-Up Kit
2 BRP OMC Ignition Coils, and
2 Champion Spark Plugs J6C should be here by Friday, i will post after installing. Thanks
