Well I put my old '73 50 out to part and have installed an '85 40HP eviunrude. Just ran it sucessfully of muffs tonight but noticed two concerns.
1. When I shift it into reverse it seems to chatter like it's not going into gear completely. Do I need to adjust my rod linkage to put more reverse throw?
2. The guy I bought the motor from yesterday slapped a "new carb" on the top spot but tonight I noticed that the front brass tube that houses a brass jet or smaller tube has a veritcal crack running up it. Does this item come in a carb repack kit or do I need to replace the carb?
I only paid $400 for the motor so I am surprised it runs, strong pee out of pee tube makes me happy too. Does that mean the pump is good?
Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.
