1985 20 Hp Evinrude

Maybe Someone Can Help Me With This Problem.
I Was In My Boat This Past Weekend Fishing And Was Trolling Along At About Half Throttle And The Motor Slowly Started To Throttle Down Without Me Moving The Throttle Handle. The Boat Motor Went Dead And Would Not Crank.after A Few Minutes I Removed The Cover And Found That Three Of The Hoses Were Disconected From The Carb And I Don't Know Where The Hoses Go. Can Someone Send Me A Diagram For This Problem To See If This Is The Problem.

You state "The Boat Motor Went Dead And Would Not Crank."

Are you saying that the engine wouldn't turn over (crank) with the manual or electric starter.... OR.... are you saying that the engine would turn over (crank) but would not start?

Okay, now..... Is the engine strictly "Manual Start", "Electric Start At Engine",...... or "Electric Start" with remote controls, key switch, push to choke etc?

You Basically Connect The Battery Cables And Pull The Choke Button Out And Push The Start Button (if Looking Towards The Stern) On The Left Side Of The Motor.

Good description....Electric Start at engine. Here are the factory PH pictures. Hopefully they will get you started in the right direction. There was no actual diagram within the service manual.
