Can I make my 9.9 Evinrude go faster?

[chead98]

I'm just a little bored and want to go faster but can't afford a new, faster one. Is it possible or is it really worth it?

Thanks, Chris

I thought it didn't go at all, spun prop??? Did you solve it? Yes you can , it will cost you some coin to convert it to a 15hp.

LOL. Now I'm sounding like a liar..he No, sorry, I actually have 2, short shaft and a long shaft. Yes, the long shaft is another topic. (goes slow)

Thanks but that sounds like a lot of work for my short shaft. I was hoping there would be a quick fix, like adding some special octane (joke) Or a little carb work.

Thanks again

Twin them, and hold on tight. Rick.

Oh I see, that explains it. There are differences between the 9.9 such as exhaust and carb but they cost money. Heck anything you will do will cost $$$.

I believe a '74-'76 is just a carb change and newer models have different exhaust tube/reed valve plate spacing..

Build yourself a dual carb, dual reed plate manifold (Homelite pyramid reed plates). Install a pair of Tillotson chainsaw carbs with 3/4" venturis and 50% larger area jets.

Convert the ignition to a maverick magneto so that you can advance timing about 40*. Set up the link 'n' synch so that you can turn her about 10Krpm and put a 4" prop on her.

Then mix up some fuel: 1 pint of Fox Hi Nitro glo plug fuel to 1 gallon of methanol.

Will go like stink and scream like a glo plug engine.

Rebuild after every 2 hours of operation, if it should last that long.

Good Idea JB, I was thinking a 50 Shot of Nitrous would do it, for about 20 seconds or so.

Good one JB. This must be like one of those high output motors, like you see on the dragstrip. I luv it.

Strap a ACME Rocket on top of the motor and light the fuse Put on a helmet and hold on to your britches. For guidance I'm sure you can pull up a Roadrunner/Wile E Coyote cartoon on youtube

LOL Sorry couldn't help myself

Once upon a time, I had a Benelli 50cc cafe racer bike. Road racing seat, homemade expansion chamber exhaust, and even clip-on bars. It was pretty fast. It was always hard to start, though. One time, I had the bright idea of putting a quart of glo-plug fuel in the tank and no premix fuel.

The thing ran like stink, but I guess that old Benelli engine wasn't designed for 10,000 RPM. It ended up in a supermarket dumpster after that test ride. Never mind, though. I only had about $75 in the thing.

That's another strange one because his motor is a 9.5. Rick.

That would mean lose muscle and I can't be doing that. lol

You could have a leg taken off and replace it with a nice lightweight balsa peg leg, that should shave atleast 30-40lbs. Maybe get an eye patch too.
