Three things.<br /><br />1. New to forum, and nice to see the almost endless amount of info on this site.<br /><br />2. Does anyone know where I could get or how to fix a power trim for a '75 Evinrude? I think it's an add on unit, and I have pictures if someone willing to help wants them. <br /><br />3. This 115 starts great, runs great, however after running it for any length of time, when coming in to the dock at slow speeds, it "hiccups" or skips, sometimes causing it to stall. Would this be your simple case of carb cleaning, or???<br /><br />Thanks in advance.

The 115 prob needs a couple carb jobs done. You have a lean pop at Idle...it could also mean that the throttle shaft bushings are worn..Either replace them...or increase the size of the low speed jets.<br /><br />TMD

Thanks Marine Doctor, will get that looked at. <br /><br />Any advice/thoughts on the trim? I forgot to mention, it's not a factory unit, for what that's worth.
