    1998 9.9 Mercury 2 stroke idling issue

    Okay so I found that it is called the idle speed screw and it sits on the cam follower. It moves when you turn the throttle. I can post the link if you would like to the website with all the stuff I’ve been trying to go off of...

    1998 9.9 Mercury 2 stroke idling issue

    I’ve taken it apart but I don’t really know what to look for I was just looking for like dirt or stains in it. I’ll take it apart tomorrow evening sometime and see if I can find something else. Anything I should look for?

    1998 9.9 Mercury 2 stroke idling issue

    I’ll see what I can find online about a rebuild kit. Because like I said to my knowledge (which is not much) it doesn’t have any dirty spots or clogs that I could see.

    1998 9.9 Mercury 2 stroke idling issue

    Okay, so the motor will only start when in gear I can’t get it to start in neutral only at full throttle. I get good spark but I don’t know the gap of the plugs. And I don’t know how to check the compression number. I most likely don’t have the correct tools to check it. I feel like it has...

    1998 9.9 Mercury 2 stroke idling issue

    I have 9.9 mercury and I can get it to run but only when it is full throttle and I’ll pull the cord. I can’t get it to idle and it’ll die after about 3 minutes. The carb to my knowledge is clean, I’ve tried spraying it and no help. Any suggestions on what it could be.

    1998 9.9 Mercury 2 Stroke Running Problem

    So a few months back I traded for this motor and I can not seem to get it running. I quit working for probably the whole month of June because I was getting no where. I started back at it again yesterday and it would run but only when I had it full throttle and pulling the cord. If I tried it in...
