Hey guys, I bought a 1984 Evinrude Super 65 3cyl. It has been sitting for a few years but i was told carbs were "ran dry". This motor looked pretty clean for its age.I bought it from my uncle for $250. So, I mounted it on my boat and pulled the carbs off and took the float bowls off. The bowls had ethanol gel and residue built up in them, I sprayed them with carb cleaner and used Mig and wire brush wire to clean the jets. I put them back on and it sounded like it was running on 2 cylinders would not rev. I checked spark, which was good. When i pump the primer ball it squeezes a couple times and then it would get hard. I opened the float bowl drains and had fuel. I then decided to pull the carbs off for cleaning again and got a gallon of Gunk carb cleaner and let the carbs sit in it for 2 days and then blew them out with an air compressor. Tried running again and this time the motor was firing on all three but it wanted to run WOT. I could control this by covering a carb at a time. Any ideas?
