    Help ! Honda 9.9 how do you remove the emulsifier tube ?

    I'm trying to remove the emulsifier tube from the carb to insert the larger main fuel tube assembly. The clymer manual just says 'remove the emulsifier tube carefully'... How the hell does it come out ? I've removed the covering screw and it looks like it's a push fit, but it's as tight as...

    Honda 9.9 to 15 upgrade - Jets

    Hi,<br />As a result of the excellent info on this forum, I bought a secondhand 1996 Honda 9.9 and 'de-knobbled' it back to (nearly) the 15hp. The throttle stop was no problem, and now I'm upgrading the jets. I read that you should change the '48s' to '52s', so I've been to the local agent and...

    1997 Honda 9.9 rubber mounts worn out ??

    I've just fitted a 1987 Honda 9.9 to my 16ft cruiser (for inland UK use with speed limits).<br />I gave it a service (oil, leg oil, plugs etc.), and it runs really well, I don't think it's had a lot of use).<br />The slight problem is that although it runs lovely and quietly and smoothly at...

    would a Trim/Tilt for 75hp fit a 40hp ?

    Hi,<br />I've seen a trim/tilt unit for a 'mid nineties' 70,75,90,V4 and V6 on eBay (here in the UK).<br />Would it fit my 1989 manual tilt 40hp twin ?<br />In the clymer manual it shows three types of trim tilt, with a different one on the 40 and the 75, but are they physically the same size...

    2 Speed Minn Kota ?? (older type ?)

    Hi<br />I'm trying to check out the spec of an older Minn Kota that I've seen advertised for sale.<br />It has the previous non-streamlined control head, a single transom clamp, and parts of the description are:<br /><br />'weedless 10' (I guess this refers to the prop)<br />'two speed' (can...

    Hi Everyone,<br /><br />I'm trying to find out the exact Amphenol part number for the plug that fits the 3 pin socket on the OMC control box of a 1989 40HP VRO.<br /><br />I know it carries the connections for the tacho and I've found the wire color codes from another post on this (excellent!)...
