    1990 Evinrude 9.9/15 still starting rough

    Came home from work to do another cold test. Still hard to cold start motor. I am going to start looking for a leak of sorts. I think that’s probably the next issue.

    1990 Evinrude 9.9/15 still starting rough

    Yes. I did some garage starts last night and seemed to work. I had the rom around 850-900 which is good idle a little too slow for the initial start (atleast with this particular motor). No ability to turn throttle handle at all made me stuck at 1 option for rpm in neutral, either 1 lower rpm...

    1990 Evinrude 9.9/15 still starting rough

    Got it! (Atleast I think) simple enough fix. I didn’t realize that knob on tiller handle next to kill button could be adjusted: mine was tightened down all the way not allowing me to manipulate Rpm in neutral. I can get higher rpm to start and throttle down for idle speed:

    1990 Evinrude 9.9/15 still starting rough

    Thanks for the suggestion! I sometimes forget about his page. I will try turning my idle speed out and see how it goes. I do have that motor set to such a low idle i can see that being a problem.

    1990 Evinrude 9.9/15 still starting rough

    I have rebuilt carb, installed new fuel pump, new spark plugs, new fuel lines. Motor runs great once it gets warmed up. It idles low and will run all day once I get it running. It’s difficult to cold start especially and can be difficult to warm start at times. I installed tach, but I am...

    Is this boat deck with trying to save?

    it is a very nice boat really. I was trilled to get it for cheap. I have a wonderfully running 35 HP outboard that will pair up perfectly with it.

    Is this boat deck with trying to save?

    This boat is already pretty much set up exactly how I'd like it. The floors in entire boat are solid outside the back third. Ill probably redo it exactly how it is not mess with anything else. I like the storage, livewell, cup holders etc.

    Is this boat deck with trying to save?

    I’ve had many flats on the water. Can’t ever have too many spare tires, i just threw a few things in the boat to take it down to the river for a quick run. I wanted to know if boat was leaking water or not. It stayed dry. I was pretty impressed really.

    Is this boat deck with trying to save?

    Yesterday I bought this 1987 smoker craft deep v because I wanted the galvanized trailer for my Lowe 1667. I just going to swap trailers and sell the boat. I took boat out last night just to test it out and really like how it sits. It boat is open floor plan vs 3 bench seats. Guy I bought boat...

    What trailer length

    Opinions will vary on this. I like a trailer to be about 2-3 feet longer than the boat. Tongue weight and width between the fenders are also deciding factors. You want enough tongue to be able to keep you winch post, spare tire and be able to back up trailer fully without boat coming in contact...

    Solved. One of the carbs ended up having a hairline crack on top. Swapped out for all metal 15 I had and it’s idling great

    1990 Evinrude 9.9 won't idle in neutral/low rpm

    My tach is reading almost exactly double, but its not been consistent enough to trust at all which I know isn't really helpful.

    1990 Evinrude 9.9 won't idle in neutral/low rpm

    I have a 9.9. It is a 1990. I rebuilt carb, put new fuel pump on. I cannot get it to idle properly in neutral. I also have a second carb i tried and same results. I tried to show in video 1 that it will idle good in forward. I can get it to idle in neutral once warm like video 2. I can get it to...
