Hey all, I have a 64 evinrude 3hp lightwin that I just bought a few months back. Normally I fish electric only so today I took it out for the second time. First day I used it she ran like a dream, didn't stall at all, and trolled down to a small putter while I trolled all day for crappie. I loved it. Today, however, I completely could not get her to run right. It starts right up on the second pull no problem, but then when I push in the choke it dies. I was riding around on it for a half hour pulling out and pushing the choke in over and over because it would keep it from dying. Then I realized that if I BARELY pushed the choke in, literally maybe 2/10 of the way, I could ride around no problem and it ran great again.
Does anyone have any idea whatsoever why this may be the case? It's annoying as all get out.. PS I don't know much about outboards but know a car inside and out, so I feel like I kind of know any engine..
