Re: 1975 Evinrude Mate

Take a spray can of carb cleaner with a long skinny tube and blow it through all the low speed gas passages:

– Hole in top side of carb bowl flange – cleaner should come freely out in bottom of bowl.
– Hole in top section of carb that mates with hole in side of carb bowl mentioned above. When doing this, take out low speed needle and blow cleaner through with needle hole open and again with your finger blocking it – look for carb cleaner to come through idle holes in top of carb throat near where throttle plate hits upper wall of carb throat.
– blow carb cleaner into needle valve hole to further flush the passages above.

Make sure carb bowl gasket does not restrict or block gas from passing through that passage up the side of the bowl. It should seal around that hole.
