Hi everybody, i bought a 1987 9.9 susuki this summer and check it in a drum, starts ok, on the lake, hard to start, and finally runs at idle well, then go fast for few minutes, no problems, after four hours of fishing, it stall and never start again. After many checks in the forest, i stop to hope and row my boat.
Arriving at home, i changed diaphragm kit of gas pump, sparks plug, clean the carb, by-pass kill switch and oil injection, (remove shaft from the pump) and bought a new thank and hose, never start anymore. Finally bring it to the mechanic to check my works and find the trouble, and told me that my job was ok. fire is good, he ckecked coil and wires,fly wheel, he checked the compression of cylinder and it was 105 for the top cylinder and 95 for the lower cylinder, he said it was the trouble and need to rebuilt the engine.......(for 700$), before to pay that i want to be sure that he doesn't forgot to check something else, because some friends told me that the compression is not the best, but should start with 95 and 105. I'd be very happy if somebody tell me to check something else. Thank you for all the thing about mechanic i learned since i read this forum.
