outboard choke assembly

[seabrooksailor]

I have a 1982 4 horse 2 stroke evinrude that runs like a dream, I got it from a guy who had it on his dingy since the motor was new and just started it a couple times a month to keep it running .
I came in from the lake the other day and pulled it off of the mount to flush it in a bucket and when I pulled the choke to start it the choke came out to far and a piece fell off and landed in the water. The motor won't start now and doesn't even try to fire. Any ideas what the part could be or where to find another one? Am I just out of luck and need a new outboard? Any help or suggestions are appreciated,
Thanks

the linkage rod....
pull the cowling off and see the choke.... its the butterfly just inside the intake of the carburetor.... the linkage rod would connect from the plastic pull knob to the bell-crank on the choke rod... or maybe you will see something else that is loose or missing....

I will have to take a look at it tomorrow and see if that's Whats missing, that does sound about right though.

What a great website! I can print this diagram and compare it to the motor to find what's missing

Just be sure to match up the year and model number (should be on the transom bracket, port side). Early engines had a reall choke, a butterfly that closed the carb opening and would have used a linkage rod with a push/pull knob. Later engines (starting mid to late 80's) used an enricher/primer, a hand pump incorporating a bypass that adds additional fuel when pulled, and also has a push/pull knob.

I love that site! I found parts for my 83 Johnson 7.5 there that had been discontinued! (First year and model to change from the gear and sprocket throttle to the helix coil to cable.)
Nowhere had the helix coil. They did for $5!
