    Evinrude 40 HP Carburetor Help

    Evinrude 40 HP Carburetor Help

    great find... looking at that drawing It did not show that brass tube the side channel route used for ages does not seem to used on this carb if an internal feeder tube is used to route fuel to the upper LS jet and drip chamber. In any event I think you are on the way to happiness :-)...

    Evinrude 40 HP Carburetor Help

    Evinrude 40 HP Carburetor Help

    that basic design (other than needle adjustment & knobs) has been around your half a century. what issue did you have with it ? The side idle channel leading up to the drip chamber under plug #5 is critical for proper iddling ... did you inspect and clean it and blow dry it ?
