Choke Problem 115 hp 1982 evinrude

[arrow62]

This motor is mounted Bayliner about the same age. The problem is when I pull up the choke (the handle on the rear inside of the control box) to start the motor the trottle on the motor does not move at all. The plastic gear inside the control box might be bad but I'm not sure. My manual does not cover this type of control box in detail. I assume that when I pull the lever up it should close down the flaps on the carb to rich'n up the fuel.
I've searched though about 20 pages on the forum and can't find any help either.
I think this is called a manual choke? Does anyone have a drawing of this type of box?
It is a single lever that puts the motor in gear at about 45 degrees then trottles up from there. It does have a horn inside the box. I believe that is an over temp alarm. It say OMC on the sift lever but that's about all the info I have.
I think the choke might be sticking in the on position.
Let me know how I can be more descriptive.
Thanks in Advance
Arrow

That is not the choke - that is the warm-up lever. The choke is activated when you push the key inwards. I have had those warm-up levers loosen up inside the box. If memory serves, it is one screw that holds it to the actuating shaft inside. Sometimes cleaning it up and adding a drop of LocTite can fix it if nothing else is worn...

My choke is a switch under the key that you have to keep up to activate the solenoid...

What's the difference between a warm up and a choke? I noticed from my manual that I don't see any type of choke on the carb. I'm also rebuilding the carbs and it talks about intermediate orfice plugs but I don't see anything on the carb, besides the low and the high, that would be an intermediate orfice plugs. I'm sure I just need to identify the carb to get the correct rebuild kit. The one I got only have 2 orfice plugs and, in my interpataion, I should have a total of 4. Two HIgh and two Low...

Thanks

The 1982 model does not have a choke, it has a primer solenoid device that diverts fuel from the fuel pump and inserts it just before the intake manifold. This takes the place of the choke.

In the 1982 model remote control, pushing the key in activates the primer solenoid.

Older 115 models had a choke with plates in the throats of the carburetors which were activated by a choke solenoid with a toggle switch on the remote control.

The warm-up lever actually advances the throttle.In the 1982 control and in the older models, It must be lowered before advancing the control arm.

"The 1982 model does not have a choke, it has a primer solenoid device that diverts fuel from the fuel pump and inserts it just before the intake manifold. This takes the place of the choke." ....
Would this explain the fuel lines running from the top and bottom of both carbs over to what appears to be the lower half of the piston?

I don't recall having to push the key in to start the motor. Am I missing something?

I think this is getting close to my problem. When I use the warm up lever, the throttle does not move. There seems to be a lot of slop in the warm up lever, therefore not engaging the throttle.

I appreciate your advice,

The primer solenoid is a cylindrical device with a red lever on most models. It connects from the fuel manifold [after the fuel pump] to the top of each of your carburetors with small black hoses.

What Chinewalker and I are both assuming, perhaps wrongly, is that you have the standard side mount OMC remote control. On all of those the choke solenoid or primer solenoid was activated by simply pushing in the key.

It was standard in 1982, not an exception.

The fact that the warm up lever is not working was apparent from your description. You will have to open the control to fix it.

You may find the BRP Parts catalog for your motor to be helpful. The diagrams for the fuel pump, carburetor, intake manifold, and remote control may be especially helpful:

I found the primer solonoid, It is sitting below the #1 piston. Thanks a bunch for the parts link. I found the parts I needed for the warm up lever. Is there any adjustment procedure for the warm up lever once I get the parts?

Thanks,
Arrow

Re: Choke Problem 115 hp 1982 evinrude

on a side note, looks like you are using one of those generic manuals on CD? If so, getting the OMC manual for your engine helps a lot. I started using one of those manuals but is really too generic, I got the OMC manual this week and is a lot better, everything is clear and a lot of specifics procedures in there...
