It is a 1989 Evinrude 8hp. It will not idle without pulling out on the choke just slightly. If you push the choke in it just runs out of gas and dies. I found a crack in the fuel pump and replaced that. Still would not idle. sprayed a little carb cleaner around the side of the carb and it picks up like it should so I think the gaskets on the carb are leaking so I put a new carb kit in. Still will not idle without the choke and spraying the side of the carb helps it idle. Put new fuel lines on. Still no help. Can't figure out where it's leaking.
When we put the carb kit in I had two pieces left. A very small rubber tube about 1 1/2 to 2 inches long and a small dish shaped piece about 1/2 inch in diam. The only place I see that could go would be on the side of the carb where there is a mesh screen.
Any ideas?
