Default Outboard Engine Shop?

Hey there, I have an old Evinrude 15. It has been great to me, but last time I had it out it gave me one heck of a fight trying to get it running. Once it was running it ran great. I am not very knowledgeable about carbs so I don't want to try fixing it myself, I have changed the plugs and checked the plug wires. Anyone recommend a place or even someone to take it to that could check it over and see if they can get it starting better. Once it was warm it started first pull every time (like it always has).

Thanks in advance for your help!

It might help if you would mention what part of the country you are from.

Eddys on the North end has made many Forum members very happy.

keep his # handy guys 475-7022

This guy has been fixing outboards for about 30 years and has a
great reputation. He is owner operator and only employee.
Spent most his life in the Lac La Biche / Athabasca area
keeping all the outboards running.

he often gives someone an old obsolete part that he has in his
tickle trunk etc. Hard to find a guy like that anymore.

anything small engine .... Eddy's your guy
