Ive got an 70 hp evinrude that is bogging when i take off i can choke it and it planes. after it planes it will run great when u stop u have to choke it again.I have rebuilt carbs 3 times took out the low speed jets each time . Put 3 fuel pumps on . ran about 30 compression checks on it compression is 118 120 122. Put new gas lines and still the same.today i notice smoke coming out of the top carb . Im about ready to cut it off the boat. THANKS FOR ANY HELP

Re: 1979 70hp evinrude bogging

that motor has 3 jets in each carb. they have to be remove and cleaned. low speed, intermediate, high speed. you are missing the intermediate when cleaning.

read carb cleaning and rebuild in TOP SECRET FILE.

Re: 1979 70hp evinrude bogging

choking it still shows a fuel delivery problem. it is not getting enough fuel. have you tried, synching the carbs, then doing a link n sinc, which adjust the timing and carbs so that they work together at the proper time. link n sinc, is covered only in the OEM service manual.
