    '82 9.9 continues to run rough after carb rebuild

    Per everyone's suggestion we rebuilt the carb, but the rough running, stalling, continues just as before. Carb was amazingly clean... no varnish, dirt, sludge... nothing. Pulled the fuel pump to check it out per Seloc's manual, no leak at the back vaccuum port, but as soon as the gas line from...

    shortshaft-to-long... possible or crazy?

    I was given a early 80's Merc Force 9.9 short shaft, but need a long. Rediculous undertaking, or not that big a deal? The motor looks like it's never been used.

    Carb removal from '82 9.9hp

    Re: Carb removal from '82 9.9hp Did this work? Can you see the pics? (The Seloc manual is of little help... I thought it was the only one available. I would have purchased an Evinrude manual if it was available.)There are some parts I wasn't quite sure of... like the 3 different size...

    Carb removal from '82 9.9hp

    I bought the carb rebuild kit and the Seloc manual but there appears to be much more involved in removal of the carb than the manual indicates. They say disconnect choke, gas line, linkage, etc, then remove 2 nuts... and bingo. You can see one nut, but there is a ton of stuff in the way of the...

    Converting 9.9hp Yam from manual to electric start?

    Possible or dumb idea? It will be used as an auxilliary on a 25' sailboat and is in a very awkward position (way down low, w/ lots of s**t in the way) to pull start each time.

    The local rental place is selling their used motors for $200 ( the ones that have been pulled from the rental fleet, due to a wide array of problems) i.e. "stuck in gear", "oil leak", "stalls", "runs rough", "won't start", etc. they have no real mechanic there so they have just hung them up as...

    9.9 Evinrude Yachtwin, '80 something starts, sputters...

    I have a 9.9 Evin. (unknown yr.) as the auxilliary on a 25' sailboat at about 6400' elevation. Had trouble w/ it last summer missing, stalling, not re-starting, etc. Sometimes you could coax into chugging on by monkeying w/ the choke... out a little, in a little. Ususally it's run wide open...
