lookinforwalleye Posted July 3, 2019 Report Share Posted July 3, 2019 (edited) Looking for a little assistance...having issues with my mid 70`s 15 HP Evinrude...it starts but will not run. I pulled the carb apart and cleaned it up but I think it needs a rebuild...the attached picture shows what looks like a hole where the needle valve goes not sure if that is normal or has a piece worn and broke off...also the wire that connects the float to the needle valve was missing...Any assistance would be appreciated.

jimmer Posted July 3, 2019 Report Share Posted July 3, 2019 The fuel needs to flow in from somewhere, but can't be sure that is the way is should look. I'm not seeing the needle seat, did you remove it? You can buy the carb kit for that motor and it should have everything in it. Not sure how something would break away in that location.

Big Cliff Posted July 3, 2019 Report Share Posted July 3, 2019 Has someone else taken this carb apart? It looks like the needle valve seat is missing all together. Also, that the spring holding the valve to the float is missing???? Not adding up! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have the seat and the valve but the wire to attach everything to the float was not there, the float looks like the original cork version. I was not sure if that open should be there but it does make sense that the fuel flows in from there...I plan on getting a kit and rebuilding it.

Rattletrap2 Posted July 13, 2019 Report Share Posted July 13, 2019 How did you make out? Did it get fixed up? Do you still have the Bass Boat? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lookinforwalleye Posted July 13, 2019 Author Report Share Posted July 13, 2019 Hi Brian...I sold the bass boat a few years ago wasn`t using it enough...I just received the rebuild kit from Amazon so I might go to the trailer tonite and work on it tomorrow... Nice to hear from you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lookinforwalleye Posted July 16, 2019 Author Report Share Posted July 16, 2019 (edited) Order a carb rebuild kit from Amazon which was okay, some of the kit would not fit....anyways replaced the float and needle valve and gaskets and gave it a real good clean and now she seems to be running pretty good....Thanks!
