[QUOTE="Rat, post: 125031, member: 1914"] I got the motor running Sunday afternoon. The parts arrived Friday and I was able to rebuild the carb and get all the new linkage and lanyard kill switch installed as well as perform a link and sync. Then I went fishing all weekend. When I got home on Sunday I installed the new thermostat, water pump/impeller and rebuilt the fuel pump; stuck her in the tank and she fired right off! It still has a little low speed/idle stumble, but it runs great and starts on the first or second pull! It is a 1971 18 HP Evinrude; it still needs lots of work, but it is functional now. I am going to try and get her on the water to perform a full load test today or tomorrow. [/QUOTE]
