1988 4 h.p. Evinrude does not troll

[raym]

My oatboard starts well and is fine at full throttle but at trolling speed it gradually looses power and when it's about to stall, I try to give it gas, but it still stalls.Then it will only start with yhe ckock on even when it's hot...

rm,<br /><br />The engine is flooding-believe it or not. You are having carburetor troubles. It's time to replace the float and the needle and seat. It's a simple job and the parts are cheap.<br /><br />Any John/Rude dealer will have, or can get, the carb. kit.<br /><br />Make sure you take your model and serial numbers with you. There should be a plate on the clamp bracket with that information. If not, look for a core plug on the cylinder block (left side when looking from front) that is about the size of a quarter. It will have some numbers on it.
