SOURCE: Missing operators manual for Evinrude 2 hp outboard motor

Your best bet is ebay for a replacement user manual. Take a look around, you will come across one... For the meantime, gas oil ratio should be 50 parts gas to 1 part oil, i.e. 50:1. General care: Dont go full throttle for any length of time. Cruise of 3/4 throttle... Always flush engine after use in saltwater, including washing down exterior. Keep spark plugs in good order and check prop for fishing line wrapped around in near the prop hub. Otherwise, get a yearly service and have them check the water pump and replace as needed, get it tuned etc and gearbox oil changed.

have you got hydraulic trim/tilt? if so control button /switch will be on or near throttle handle-if not you will have to manually lift and insert pin at bottom of mount on transom

SOURCE: 30 hp evinrude outboard, running full throttle, then surges as if running out of gas. Will conk out if not taken back to idle. Whats causing this?

Sounds like air is getting into the fuel line. If you have a squeeze bulb primer check to make sure that it stays firm after you run it a bit. I had an air leak on a clamp attaching the primer bulb to the fuel line and the same thing happened to me. When the engine starts to cut out squeeze the primer bulb and see if it starts running better, if it does then you probably do have an air leak in the line and it is losing it's prime. Hope this helps!

Testimonial: "That was the problem! Inspected the fuel line from the tank to the motor, up to the fuel pump and found the problem. I just recently rebuilt the fuel pump. What I had done was use "zip ties" on the fuel line in to the connector with screen that attaches to the fuel pump; then a zip tie on the fuel line out from the fuel line. When put together, the locking heads of the zip ties was pushing against the fuel pump line attachment not allowing it to seal, and sucking in air. I adjusted the zip tie heads, screwed the fuel in line back on, and now it runs like a champ!!! Thank You!"
