Bought tinnie on weekend need info

[hardcore_rm]

I bought a 12 foot tinnie on the weekend with a 15 hp evinrude. bought it of my uncles mate and my uncle had worked on engine so he knew it ran fine.
Needed a new fuel pump thing so didn't get to see the engine running myself.

Bought it and havn't been able to get the engine running myself yet. i am taking it to my uncles on friday who is a mechanic.

Just wondering if anyone with same engine has any tips etc if their engine wont start.


going by the model number thread it says the engine is a 98 however i think it would be an 80's model . has been repainted so it does look different it has a carby if that helps

does the engine have a serial number, that will tell us the year model

model no AE15bacec
serial A01907379


Going by the guide in one of the posts ec means 98 but pretty sure its older than that. if i drop the last c i get ce which is 89 to mean that sounds more like it
but not sure

looks very similar to my 86 model evinrude 15HP
They like a bit of throttle to start when cold.
I had starting probs with mine and got the carby cleaned out and she starts on 1/2 a pull now when warm and a few pulls when stone cold
