Couple things, was on water tonight, water outlet stream is lil weak, run a wire up in it good n strong again for awhile, over n over process, was thinking of taking the niple off and just run the hose out the hole?, also from idle to wot, it takes a lil bit to clean up and up get full rpm's?

Re: 9.9 evinrude 1985

Sounds like the nipple may be worth removing temporarily. I think you probably need a carb. kit and a very good carb. cleaning to sharpen things up. Best of luck. Rick.

If you go to the start of this forum & click onto FAQ, then down near the bottom are my articles on 9.9/15hp OMCs. Go to the water circulation article, or http://www.sschapterpsa.com/ramblings/water_circulation.htm Here I have come up with a solution for the continually plugged water tell tales.

Yes, it also sounds like you have debris in the carburetor & it needs a cleaning/rebuild.

Re: 9.9 evinrude 1985

just got off water, water stream is good now, but like i said when throw it to wot seems like takes a bit to clean up and rev to wot, just wondered of something to run through tank?, seems to be kinda hard on fuel too, runs great but not real clean from idle to wot

Re: 9.9 evinrude 1985

There are actually three circuits in a carb. 1. You have the idle circuit. 2. At midrange little less that half, the intermediate portion comes in. WOT high speed circuit takes over. If low and or high speed is not plugged and the intermediate is, you will have a hesitation. Clean carb and reinstall. Good luck and post back your results.

Re: 9.9 evinrude 1985

also the idle speed knowb on the side has no effect, so i adjusted the throttle cable at motor so it will sit n idle when lever is all the way down,

Re: 9.9 evinrude 1985

Overhaul the carb. If your turning the low idle jet and nothing is happening, Your carb has issues. Get OEM kit and rip in to it! Hence,(GETTER DONE)!

Re: 9.9 evinrude 1985

where u buy these ? only thing knob does is when all the way in kills motor, after barely turn it out it idles but no faster if keep turning

 

[Monte1961]

Re: 9.9 evinrude 1985

Thats what its supposed to do! Start out at 1.5 turns. Now between tiller handle and low idle jet, get it to its lowest rpm in gear without dieing. After you reach that point, turn low idle jet out 1/4 turn and leave it there. Thats it, your done! Post back and let us know.

Re: 9.9 evinrude 1985

no tiller, its on pontoon steering wheel

Re: 9.9 evinrude 1985

the only way i could adjust it to idle was the throttle cable, has a ring nut like, i turned it and the idle got higher so would sit n idle, the knob on side seemed to only kill it when all the way in, turn it out some it would stay running but not idle, so i adjusted the cable

Re: 9.9 evinrude 1985

also what plugs should i use? i just bought pontoon, figured id change those as well, who knows how old they are, model# is e10elcom, its 1985 9.9 evinrude, and can u run like seafoam through gas tank? cause seems to run ok all around just lil sluggish midrange and idle

Re: 9.9 evinrude 1985

the knob on front of motor, im told is mixture?, how do u set that correctly? ive noticed mine seems to be loading up, when idling to wot takes a bit and smokes badly

Re: 9.9 evinrude 1985

SPARK PLUG, Champion L77J4. go back to post # 12 for adjustment low speed. I may still be possible a carb overhaul is in order. If your going to run seafoam, do that first before you change plugs. Post back and let us know how you made out!

 

[Merc_115]

Re: 9.9 evinrude 1985

post number 12?

 

[Monte1961]

Re: 9.9 evinrude 1985

yes post # 12 of RE: evinrude 1985
It will tell you how to adjust or readjust low speed jet.! One thing you might want to do after thinking for a moment. Pull the low speed jet completely out and look at the end of it. Check tip if broke, bent or? should be tapered and smooth. Post back and let us know. The reason I say this is you mentioned turning it in all the way and sometimes people have a tendency to over tighten and thats not a good thing.
