I had a 94 175 and I don't remember that lighter colored plastic tube ever coming out with the pump?
The kit also came with 2 or 3 different lengths of the black extension tubes, are you sure you're using the right one?
I purchased my 9.9 new in 1984 and ordered the OEM manual for it at the same time. It has the same 394607 part number you are looking at here and does cover the 2 through 235 hp motors.
We have several Moen faucets and they also have a similar warranty. Fortunately, we haven't needed to use it so far.

A friend gave me his Worksharp to try out a few months ago and I liked it so much I ended up buying 1 of my own. I've only used it on kitchen knives so far but I don't see why it wouldn't work just as well on your Kabar...
I may not be looking in the right place but I don't even see an exhaust gasket mentioned in my 84 OEM manual. All it mentions is putting a new o-ring on the exhaust housing cover and installing 2 screws.
Does that motor have an idle air control valve (IAC)?
We had a mid 80's F150 with a 302 and I remember having to remove and clean that a few times. It would get sticky or something and not idle right and cleaning with carb spray seemed to help.
No problem GA, the site already seems much better than it has been for the last 5 or 6 years.
Many thanks to you mods and everyone else behind the scenes that finally made this happen.
Yes it was hard for me to read also. I clicked on my user name at the upper right and then went to preferences and changed the style from iboats to default and it's much better.
