Hey Guys
After getting my 9.9 to run again and yes it was pumping water. So I pulled the lower unit and checked the impeller which was intact. (I had never changed it) Put it back together and it only pumps minimal water. The housing was a little corroded and the metal plate was intact. I ran it in a bucket of water with a 1/2 inch elec drill and it pumped a little. Since there are no gaskets, would silicone between the housing and plate make it pump better. Planning to put in a new impeller kit this week. Any similar experiences. I cleaned the carb but it smoked an excessive amount at about a 75 to 1 ratio. My Yamaha hardly smoked at all on the same tank. Do you screw in the idle needle to lean out the mixture? Any help appreciated.
