[QUOTE="deltabbean, post: 364098, member: 14893"] Thanks for all the advice everyone, really appreciate it. I ended up rebuilding the carburetor, changed out all fuel lines, installed a inline fuel filter, and got it going. Took 2 hours to set the hi and low needles valves. But today I took my boat out in the delta for a test run. I had to adjust the high and low needle valves again way differenly to get it started. Here's my problem; when it's in neutral it revs nicely, but when I put it into drive it revs down and I barely have any speed when I'm at full throttle. The current was pushing me faster than the motor. Any one have any ideas what I should do? Thanks 1963 Starcraft Seascamp 1448 w/ 1960 Evinrude Fisherman 5.5hp outboard model 5520 [/QUOTE]
