Motor runs only in choked position

Just bought a 7.5 1982 evinrude, starts and runs great only in choked position.... As soon as i uncooked it it dies. Looks like it has a new carb. Any advice?

I would try rebuilding the carb first very inexpensive and always needed anyways, and very simple.

I would try pulling the carb off and giving it a thorough cleaning. A rebuild would be nice but personally I'd just try a good cleaning first. Of course I'm cheap when it comes to this sort of thing. I disagree with the "always" needs it. My current 20 horse is just one of many carbs that I've gotten to run without a rebuild. I don't know how long this one had sat because it came from an estate sale. But the motor was in pieces with a few pieces and lots of bolts missing. I cleaned the carb and finally got it put back together and it runs great.

I'll give it a shot, thanks for the info guys

clean the carb!

It's the high speed jet . Clean the carb.
