Hello all!
My buddy got this 88 sea nymph with an Evinrude that seemed to run fine when we purchased it. However, on the water the first go she started right away but then died and had trouble keeping her running at idle. Attempting to give her some throttle she died quickly thereafter and unable to restart.
We noticed a lot of fuel in the water around the motor. Taking the cover off and priming the bulb on the gas tank I noticed there was fuel coming out this small circular screen on the carburetor? Any idea why this would be or how to fix? I no Jack about boat motors. Thanks!
Id post a photo but I can't I guess yet.
The carburetor number is 431878. You can see the images on Google the small circular screen I'm talking about .
Taking off the intake cover I see fuel now spilling down from the top carb intake
