Need some help here guys. Wondering how worried I should be. I bought an older boat with a 76 70hp Evinrude. Had it out a cpl times with no problems Was out last week cruising about 30mph and came to a no wake zone throttled down to idle thru then went to throttle up and it bogged/cut out. Got it started and idleing went to throttle and same thing happened. It continued to do this. Never did get straight.
It didnt run hot, I am thinking/hoping that maybe the gas is bad since the guy I bought it from had been fishing in his new boat for a cpl months or maybe the carbs need cleaning. What do you guys think? Also anyone know what the going rate is on cleaning carbs? rebuilding carb? Thanks Guys
