[BOATGUYKEVIN]

IM NEW TO THIS FORUM.I JUST BOUGHT A 1999 EVINRUDE 15 HP THAT DIDNT START AT THE GUYS HOUSE.PICKED IT UP FOR 500.00.GOT IT HOME TODAY AND TRIED TO START IT.RAN FOR A SECOND.LOOKS LIKE ITS BEEN SITTING FOR AWHILE.TOOOK THE CARB APART LOOK REALLY BAD.ALL KINDS OF BUILD UP INSIDE.SOME OF THE NEEDLES OR JETS THAT YOU CAN UNSCREW WITH A SCREW DRIVER ARE FROZEN DONT WANT TO MOVE.ANY IDEAS,WOULD LIKE TO REBUILD CARB,NOT BUY A NEW ONE FOR 620.00$.SHOULD I SOAK IT IN LIKE A PENETRATING FLUID.ALSO SOME OF THE SCREWS WERE REMOVED FROM LOWER UNIT,LOOKS LIKE SOMEONE TRIED TO SPLIT UNIT TO CHANGE WATER PUMP BUT LOWER END WOULDNT COME APPART.WHATS THE TRICK TO DROP LOWER UNIT TO GET TO WATER PUMP.

THANKS IN ADVANCE
Kevin
