Re: Electric Choke In Evinrude 115hp
Something is very much out of whack! The 1976/77 115hp engine have a smaller all metal carburetor face cover that incorporates a metal clamp that holds the choke solenoid in the upward position and the choke butterfly rod having the extended protrusion on the top carburetor.... the proper choke rod on your engine is on the bottom carburetor.
The 1978 V4 engine have the metal/plastic type faceplate with the plastic side extensions, and the choke solenoid is attached upside down to the top portion of the faceplate so that it hooks onto the top carburetor choke rod.
However, in both cases, the choke butterfly rod with that protruding piece that the solenoid would hook onto is on the wrong (bottom) carburetor.
Either the wrong carburetors are on that engine or someone has had them completely torn down (not likely) to a point whereas the butterfly retaining rods have all been removed... and to tear a carburetor down to that point as I stated... that's not likely.
I'll see if I can dig up and scan and enter here both choke setups to give you a idea of what I'm speaking of sometime tomorrow.
