Success!
My 1985 Evinrude 175 lives on! Thanks Dave R and all who walked me thru different steps and ideas. I ended up taking apart the top carburetor that was leaking and the new float wasn't dropping enough. My manual said it should drop between 7/8-1 1/8" so I made the adjustment. It started with the first turn of the key and kept on running! I was ready to buy a new fuel pump earlier so you saved me over $400 for just that part. I don't mind tinkering with an old engine if I can get more time out of it. I think I'm at my limit mechanically so if anything else comes up it might be the end! Thanks again.
