Re: Force\gamefisher 9.9 thermostat??
There are no clamps on the primer line BUT the hose must be plyable and fit snuggly on the carb and primer bulb/button, again, make sure that this bulb assembly is not leaking air. The spark advance linkage is basicly FIXED, but the carb can be adjusted. It should be fully open before full advance. There is a little black roller on top of the carb that is mounted on a nylon moulding that is hinged and has a little adjustable wire(this is what people mess up) going down to the carb butterfly. This little black roller should almost be touching the spark advance cam plate with the throttle grip fully retarded. as you turn the throttle grip and the black roller hits the bump in the spark advance cam plate, the carb butterfly should be fully open. There is additonal travel after this point but it is only in the form of spark advance for the balance of power. There is some adjustment on the spark advance but it requires bending of the linkage.<br /> If all of the above is ok... <br />If you are advancing the throttle to a point and the power gain stops with further increase in throttle setting, you have a lean condition and it must be cured before destroying your engine.<br />One last thought...check your fuel line fittings and hose for air leaks, make sure tank is vented..AND did you insert the water tube in the leg properly when you put the lower unit back on? Was it damaged earlier from a previously improperly installed lower unit?
