    2006 Honda 9.9 Stalls in Gear in Idle

    An update on this issue. I cleaned the carb again but the issue remained. Took the carb to a guy with an ultrasonic bath and he cleaned it but the issue remained. Unhooked the temperature sensor and the issue disappeared. I bought and installed a new sensor but the issue is the same. The...

    2006 Honda 9.9 Stalls in Gear in Idle

    Thanks folks. While it is working great presently, assuming it stays that way I plan to use it this way this season. Over the winter I will do a long carb soak/cleaning and change the impeller for next season. Caught a 27 inch landlocked salmon yesterday so not interested in fixing/investigating...

    2006 Honda 9.9 Stalls in Gear in Idle

    As luck would have it the 7 pitch prop showed up. I put it on and went for a spin. As expected I was able to reduce the in gear idle RPM via the idle screw to just above the point that the mystery 1 min 17 sec stalling happens. So works like a charm now and trolls at a nice slow speed. At WOT...

    2006 Honda 9.9 Stalls in Gear in Idle

    So here is the results of my idle speed adjustment. I was able to get the stalling to stop by adjusting the idle screw. I increased it in gear to the point it stopped stalling. Again it was doing it exactly 1 min and 17 sec everytime until I got the RPM up. In gear it idles what I would think is...

    2006 Honda 9.9 Stalls in Gear in Idle

    Thanks ahicks. The auto choke works as intended. When you start the engine cold it idles higher given the choke working then the choke piston extends as the motor warms and shuts that fuel passageway and the motor idles down exactly as it should. I tested the auto choke on a battery to make sure...

    Yes MattFL it has that exact carb set up. Very little adjustment for idle air/fuel mix. It does idle very steady so not the same as you saw. I do agree that more adjustment could be key here.

    2006 Honda 9.9 Stalls in Gear in Idle

    Thanks for the input. Also should of said that the idle tube in the carb was replaced (the one with the many extremely tiny holes). The previous one had a small split in the tube (fish mouth split which makes me think it had water in it and froze and split). The choke also didn't work as that...

    2006 Honda 9.9 Stalls in Gear in Idle

    New to this forum but having a stalling issue on a 2006 Honda 9.9. The 14 foot fishing boat and motor are new to me. There was a similar thread a number of years ago but never really got a final resolution. I changed out the impeller, plugs, carb cleaned, changed gear oil and engine oil, and a...

    9.9 Honda stalls at idle speed $720 in repair bills it still stalls

    New to this forum but having the same issue on a 2006 Honda 9.9. The 14 foot fishing boat and motor are new to me. I changed out the impeller, plugs, carb cleaned, changed gear oil and engine oil, and a new prop. Works great under throttle. When not in gear it will idle all day long. When in...
