I've been reading posts about different engines max rpm's. I'm not sure if my engine is reaching max rpm's or not and I'd like to find out if I am indeed getting the best out of it. Can anyone help me set up a tach on this engine. It's a 76' model 9.9 evinrude. Thanks for any suggestions.
I have a 1976 model evinrude 9.9 that I am interested in converting to a 15 hp engine before I place it on another boat. I need to know what parts are required for this switch, if anyone knows please inform me. Thanks all. <br /><br />Streamfisher
If you've read my last two posts you know that I have been debating over whether or not to buy a 15 hp force (used). I used the serial number today and discovered that the engine is a 96 model 9.9 that obviously has been converted since purchase. I ran the engine and it runs better than any 9.9...
On a typical engine how hot can they get without cause for concern. I ask because today I ran a 15 hp engine for about 20 mins at WOT and then I took the hood off and felt the top of the heads. It was hot enough to where you could only leave your hand on it for a few short seconds. I was...
Hello all, <br />It's been a while since i've been on here, been busy as hell fishing, but I need some advice. I have stumbled across a 99 model force (i think) for $500. It appears to be in good condition and the guy says it has only been ran for a couple hours (Less than 10). Is this a good...
Just wanted to drop a line and let you guys know that your help was not only appreciatted it was extremely, extremely, useful. As a result of your guys guidance I have successfully (nearly) turned a 76 model evinrude into a 2002 model. I tore it completely down and rebuilt it from the ground up...
I am currently rebuilding a 9.9 evinrude and the reeds looked good when i took it apart. I have a problem with fouling plugs, particularly the bottom cylinder. In another post it mentioned that reeds could be the source. Should i change them as well while i'm in the engine?
Hello all. Haven't been on here for a couple of days because i've been tearing down my 9.9. First i want to thank all of you for your help. As a result of the info i got on this board i ordered a manual and disassembled my engine. I now have it in a million pieces but the good news is they all...

I have spent hours reading on iboats.com in search of an answer to a problem that <br />I am having with an Evinrude 9.9. So far i haven't found any sure answers so i need some help. I think the engine is a 76 model (either 76 or 74). I just bought the engine last year and since then i have had...
