    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...

    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

    virtue is nothing to argue about yet venturing into the innards of the abandoned may be adventurous at best for the non-initiated. Faced with the possibilities of a mishap a small kicker is always a good option .

    RD-25D 40 HP reconditioning

    Posssibly but the beast was dormant for nearly half it's life and may have less than 500 hrs. If the owner TLC'd before storage (oiled) it may need little work to wake it up. A teardown is likely beyond most. I have never been so unlucky as to do open heart surgery .

    print the manual locally double sided and spring bind with plastic cover sheets. enough for 2 binders :) Be warned you have been infected with the oldies virus. Nobody dies but divorce frequently happens around the 30th engine in the shed. :) Keep some change for fuel these engines love...
