I bought a boat (14' Mirrorcraft) with a 1973 25 Horse Evinrude on the back. I was stoked because that's what my dad had and what i fished in growing up. This evnirude even had electric start.
My issue i am having is that is does wind all the way out. It acts like its going to then never gets to top speed. Drives me nuts.
I have taken it to a Dicks boats in clearfield to have them look at this issue. They said it was the carb and i needed to be rebuilt. After $325 they told me it would be a rocket. I was stoked and headed to the lake for a test run. When i put the engine under a real load (my boat, not in a bucket) it still preformed the same way.
I know this engine will scream but i am not a engine repair guy. Does anybody know how to work on this motor, or know of anybody (that in not crazy expensive) that does great work.
Its fall time and i am have plans to go to the berry for the next 8 saterdays. I really need some local info and help.
PS. I live in UTAH.
