Re: Spirit 9.9
That's a good question. Unfortunately he lives about 350 miles from me,but I will get that info.next month when I am down there.<br /> The diameter on my prop is 8".And stamped on the prop are the following numbers .285 x 205.I assume this is metric.Not sure what this translates to in standard measurements.<br /> I also did some testing on the weekend and verified both plugs were firing and checked the fuel filter.This motor has been sitting for quite a few years not used and I think the carb. needs a rebuild or at least the jets need replacing.<br /> I noticed from half throttle to WOT there is no difference in RPM.At WOT when I pullled the choke out the motor did not react at all.It should begin to stall,correct?
<br />2 If no, change the propeller to a lower pitch<br /><br />Edit:<br />What is the diameter and pitch on the 9.9 of your dad's? <br />On a 10ft Zodiac you should get up on plane easily. Can you check your prop for diameter and pitch too?<br />We also need the gear ratio for the comparision. For the Mercury that is easy to find, but for the Spirit?
