    Low speed jet adjustment

    seat the needle all the way in counting turns as you shut it down... don'T worry about the spring remove the needle and spring and blast the internal orifice (passage way) with carb cleaner and a blast of air do it twice just in case.... wear safety glasses while doing so reinstall...

    79’ Evinrude 70 Bogging

    carbs cleaned recently... do you mean removed, orifices cleaned out float checked out etc... these are old style carbs easy to clean up incl.. side channel for LS upper drip chamber under the die size plug which feeds fuel for idling properly .

    1977 Evinrude 15hp pull start

    yes that is what I have but the bolts you have in the kit don't fit the FW holes on top . Buy what you need (3) at the HW store with 3 nylon lock-nuts and some flat washers to keep the bolt heads from slipping thru the trianle opennings . Bend the flat washer 90 deg. on one side to fit...

    Black scuff marks on cylinder walls

    Darn....you just spoiled my day... I just installed a 43$ head gasket on a EV 6hp I just refurbished dealer was asking 73$ CDN plus 15% taxes (O.M.G. !) Amazon was cheaper yet I just found one on EBAY !!! for 15$ free shipping from China & No tarifs :)

    RD-25D 40 HP reconditioning

    well the main reason is that they wont "screw in" to the standard but newer screw pin coil vs the old HV PIN magneto coils used on the oldies since te early 50s... easy underneath routing may also be a problem

    1977 Evinrude 15hp pull start

    The above illustrated puller with inverted nylon nuts is probably the cheapest you will find. No.... it is not OEM stuff $$$ but works fine on small OBs . The inverted nuts will keep the depth of bolt insertion in the FW even and keep the bolts in place so you don't go loosing any.

    RD-25D 40 HP reconditioning

    for plug wires I have used these but the price has exploded for unknown reasons I have paid 40$ for a set a few years ago. seems it was $69 just a few weeks ago ( tarifs ???) https://www.napacanada.com/en/p/BMX700175 may as well visit NAPA or a bike shop and buy a few feet of 7mm wire...

    1977 Evinrude 15hp pull start

    anything that worked itself loose or mal adjusted can cause your problem .. may as well get yourself a puller and pull the FW
