need some help on a 1997 evinrude 115. Recently rebuilt carbs and did some general tune up. Helped with most problems but now I get a stall and sometimes dies when I accelerate. If a accelerate really slow it panes and runs great. Idle is ok, not great but it works. Starting is a little hard until it warms up.

What do I need to look into? Fuel supply? Hoses? Pump?

spark and compression are both good.

If your carbs are clean and you still have a rough idle make sure you have spark to all cylinders. Try bumping the key when you take off, if it works and it goes then you might have missed something in the carb jets.

Did you change the adjustment screws while you had the carb bodies off? You may need to back the screws out some if the primer helps you accelerate.
