[QUOTE="The Wirtzer, post: 320554, member: 11620"] I have a 1956 Evinrude 15hp short shaft motor and a 3 gallon pressurized, two-line tank. It seems to just guzzle fuel. I don't see any leaks from the carb and it seems to run fine though, as this is the first motor of this age I have owned, I have nothing else to go by. I have the high and low mixtures set correctly. I would speculate that I can run about 2hrs wide open (I'm guesstimating here because I took 6 20 minute trips at full throttle, before I run out of fuel. Does this sound normal? Maybe I'm not used to it because I've run 5 and 10 hp johnsons in the past... Thanks in advance Tim [/QUOTE]
