I just started a new thread for my latest build, a 1993 Tracker Sweet 16. It has a 1993 25hp Evinrude electric start which I believe is missing some parts. I cannot get the full story from the previous owner but he said the ex-wife pulled something loose during an argument. While that should have been a red flag before buying it, I got it at such a low cost that even if I have to take it into a marina, I should still be okay. :shock:
Here's what I'm dealing with: When I move the throttle, the butterfly valve in the carburetor does not move. I see a throttle piece moving back in the motor, but there seems to be a linkage cable missing that connects it to the piston that controls the carb's valve.
Motor Info:
Model# TE25ELETC
Serial# G 03272435
PICS:
Throttle control:
Throttle "body" part that moves when I move the throttle forward and reverse:
Carburetor "butterfly" valve that is not moving unless I hold it open with my finger:
Other side of motor for reference. Is it possibly an electric choke with this piece?
Bonus pictures for reference:
I'm looking for the exact manual now to find the missing part(s), and I think it is referred to as a "throttle body linkage cable". I'll update more as I do more research. Any tips in the right direction would be helpful.
