1976 ( It is a 1977 , got it back and checked ) Evinrude 9.9 problem :S * UPDATES *

[Kryx]

Hey guys,

Im new to this forum. I just bought an Evinrude 9.9 this summer for my boat. I could not get it running good for trolling it was running rough and bogging out, kicking some times ( like id be goind slow then it would kick in and go faster for a second).

I got a Tune up done and thought it would resolve the problem...Now im having a bigger issues. It has no power.. The other day I was trolling , wasnt going to well just keeps bogging. ( can troll just seems I have to play with the handle alot.) So I leave to go back to the dock, I WoT it and its SLOW feels like a 6HP maybe less?

Sometimes like I said above it would kick in for a few seconds and be at its max potential then go back to its slow speed.

I brought it to the shop and they are telling me it is the Power Pack. ( dont qoute me on this im french I think thats what it is in english) The box incharge for firing. IF I translate it its the "Eletronic Box".

They are saying its going to cost 130$ CAN for the item.

Sometimes WoT works no problems. 90% of the time when I go out on the lake it will bog and kick in with more power as I described either going Fast or slow.

Any ideas if it is really this or what? Thank you.

Re: 1976 Evinrude 9.9 problem :S

You motor does not have a powerpack if it is indeed a 76. So going with that assumption is the wrong assumption. Do you have the tools to do this yourself? If so I'd start by pulling the flywheel and having a look at the points. Dirty points will do exactly what your describing. You need to check spark, and the good part about your motor, it has 2 of everything. 2 condensors, 2 coils and 2 sets of points, so if you are handy enough you could start by swapping stuff around as a process of elimination. Where are you located?

What years have the Power pack.

He Told me its something Electronic/Electrical that is faulty, which is causing this problem , so maybe my translation is wrong. Any thing on this year motor that is electronic/eletrical that can cause this issue?

Spark Plugs are brand new.

When I go pick it up tomorrow I will ask him to show me and I will take a picture and post it.

Im located in Quebec,Canada

I have tools need to remove parts. Never worked on outboard motor but do all my work on the cars.

Re: 1976 Evinrude 9.9 problem :S

Powerpacks started in 77, 74-76 were points. There is a driver coil under the flywheel as well, but you get spark on at least one wire so I doubt that's it.

Like I said in the previous post, points/condensor, coils, wires or wiring. They are a pretty simple system. They also had a driver coil under

Re: 1976 Evinrude 9.9 problem :S

This year a motor uses points, condensers & primary ignition coils which transfers power to external coils & then fire to the spark plugs. The powerpack came into being in 1977 whe the electronic ignition was used.

Your motor could have a the points & condensers OK but one of the external coils gone bad or even a rusted & non conductive ground wire to this coil. But that price is way out of line for the price of a coil.

You appear to be only firing on one cylinder. I would look at the spark plugs as a first option.

Go back to the first part of this message board & look under the first heading under "Repair & Maintenance' click onto "Frequently Asked Questions". I have many articles down near the bottom of that page that deal mainly with all the problems with the 9.9 hp & 15hp OMC motors.

Re: 1976 Evinrude 9.9 problem :S

It was in 1977 that the ignition points were done away with ,bring a powerpack system.if you do indeed have a 76 it has points.However,I would hope a mechanic would know the differance.That said,though,its been my experience that,powerpacks either work or they dont,what would be more likely ,is a coil going out.Coils can be effected by heat and vibration.Simple tests of the spark would help,you give a symptom of running on one cylinder with the second intermittly kicking in.So a test of spark at both plugs should be done,if one sparks and the other doesnt ,a simple switch of the small wires to the coil should prove whether the problem follows to the good coil,or if indeed its not a coil problem,

Re: 1976 Evinrude 9.9 problem :S

Guys Ive been busy lately sorry for late update.

Ive made a couple Mistakes. The year of the motor is a 1977 since I have the Motor in front of me. Also the problem is the Power Pack. Any one know where I can find this and the price?

The mechanic is telling me 130$ CAN ... is that about right ?

He said He switched the coils to see if it was a coil problem and it wasnt a coil problem it is the Power Pack.

Re: 1976 Evinrude 9.9 problem :S

$130 just for the part or installed, if it's an OMC part then $130 sounds correct.

FYI. The power pack is available right here on iBoats...

Does Duty and Tax get added onto the price or does Iboats have a Canadian warehouse?

is the installation hard or is it simple if so Ill just buy it and install my self.

Re: 1976 ( It is a 1977 , got it back and checked ) Evinrude 9.9 problem :S * UPDATE

2 bolts hold the pack on, 1 bolt for ground, connectors are plug and play, it's a 10 minute job.

Did the calculation, for a non OMC part it would cost $112 to my door here in Ontario, I can go to the dealer and buy an OMC one for almost the same price/same day. If IBOATS want my buisness the duty issue would have to dissappear as well as shipping time, a Canadian Warehouse would be ideal.
