Ok. Here is the deal. I have a 1984 evinrude 90hp with the vro. I ran it two weeks ago and it ran excellent. I tried to start it yesterday and it would run. It was flooding out. I was told that it could be that the vro pump was bad. and pouring a bunch of fuel into the carbs. I replaced it with a diaphram pump. and have the same problems. my first question is it safe to run a diaphram type pump on this motor? I then tore the carbs down and the needle on the top carb was a bit shorter than the one on the lower carb. Is it possible that the needle is causing the flooding to occur? I also have a faulty choke solenoid. it doesnt click on when I his the choke, but has power to it? I am really stumped on this one. I have plenty of spark and compression, but my fuel system is messed up overnight. I hope that someone out there coudl give me some advice. Thanks
