Re: 78 70 Horse Evinrude dies

Have you discussed this with the mechanic where you took it for the carb rebuild? He should've test run it in the tank before he gave it back to you.

What's the compression on this motor?
Did you link & sync after the carb rebuild?
Sounds like the carb throttles are opening before the spark has advanced -- make sure the timer base is not sticking.
