9.5 Sportwin Starting problems> Help Pleez!

[1962]

Gentlemen, I recently received a 1964 evinrude sportwin 9.5 outboard engine. I was told it was in running condition last year. When I tried starting it recently, it would fire up for a few seconds and then stop. I checked all the fuel lines for tight fit and the fuel pump seems to be working fine. It will run if fuel is squirted into the carb, but it will not stay running. It always starts on the first pull when fuel is hand fed, but it just won't stay running. Any help will surely be appreciated. My first thought is possibly a good carburator cleaning. Pleeze help !!!!!
Thanks

complete carb cleaning, and reassembly with a new rebuild kit. if it will run when fuel is injected, it's a fuel delivery problem.

I am no expert on two stroke by any means, but it sure sounds like a bad fuel pump.....
I just acquired a '68 9.5.....
There are a couple of guys here who know these engines inside & out, so stick around.....

Yep, drop a carb kit in it. Relatively easy. Re and Re'ing the carb is harder.

Five screws hold the carburetor down. One is hidden by the Throttle Cam Control, but can be accessed by turning the tiller arm with the gear shift in forward.

The Carburetor kit is Part # 0382048. at your local OMC/BRP dealer. The kit contains a float, which you need to replace.

You can locate your nearest dealer by going to the following site, selecting the third check circle and entering your zip code.

The float bowl is important in that it controls both the flow of fuel with a float valve and also contains the high speed jet which is behind the drain plug.

The high speed jet is conveniently located at the very bottom of the carburetor, where it can accumulate all of the material that settles there as well as the gum which is left when the gasoline evaporates.

You can see the diagram of the 1968 motor and carburetor at the BRP Parts Catalog site. Unfortunately, they do not currently have the 1964.
