    I'm a bit tech challenged, but as soon as I can figure it out, I'll put up a PIC.

    Suzuki Dt16 Starter

    Just received a 1981 DT16 (1602-103623). the starter pinion gear does not rise when the starter rope is pulled. I'm an old experienced "johnny-rude" guy with top mounted recoil starters, and this is my first look ever at a Suzuki vertical manual start unit. After trying to start the motor...

    yamaha 9.9 ELRX won't idle

    IT RUNS. FINALLY! My daughter and son in law were here for the weekend and with a couple of sets of hands and eyes and some much needed extra brain power, We have the motor running really well. We took the carb apart several times without much success and after a lot of head scratching we went...

    yamaha 9.9 ELRX won't idle

    I have done some looking at engine diagrams and have found that whiole the engine is labled F9.9 ELRX (which is 1999), the carb matches F9.9 ELRW (which is 1998). The difference is that in the 1998, the air mixture screw is accessible where as the 1999 it is Under a cover plate and...

    yamaha 9.9 ELRX won't idle

    My task today is to "once again" remove the carb, and go through it again. I will search to try and find someone with a heated sonic cleaner that will run my parts through. None of the local shops want to touch these parts as they're "too old now". I agree, I'd love to know what bent the...

    yamaha 9.9 ELRX won't idle

    I too was stumped on a bent intake valve. Still am. There was no indication of hitting the piston. When the engine ran last, a fgew minutes after I pulled the fuel line to let the carb "run dry" the engine coughed hard and stopped (it was ideling fine after a few hours run time, and stopped...

    yamaha 9.9 ELRX won't idle

    A lot of searching and reading old posts and haven't found an answer that worked for me... So thought I'd post a new thread. 1999 - 9.9 high thrust 4 stroke - motor has 22 actual run time hours on it and it ran fine the last couple of years until an intake valve bent. Just finished a valve job...

    1959 35HP Frothy Caramel Colored Oil

    The bolts are those that hold the lower end on. If I recall, there are 3 on each side of the case (5/16" ish) and one forward opposite the propellor (3/8" I think). I find a couple of things odd, I realize these bolts aren't "sealed" and the case they screw into is basically just an spacer and...

    1959 35HP Frothy Caramel Colored Oil

    Motor is a Sea King (I know its not a Jonny-Rude, But...) and was rebuilt some 20 or more years ago and has sat garaged for the last 15. I've got it up and running well and had it out today for a test run. Upon returning it to the trailer, I noticed a light creamy mocha colored streak of oil...

    1959 Sea King Kill Switch

    I spent a few moments trying to trace the 2 black wires coming from under the Mag Plate (they are clamped to the bottom front edge of the plate). One goes to the over-rev vacuum switch, the other appears to enter into the harness coming out the starboard side of the motor. I don't have the...

    1959 Sea King Kill Switch

    i am somewhat technically challenged as far as Pic's go, my digital camera is very outdated and I have no smart phone, so...... As for whether there are two wires, i'll have to find some time in the morning to pull the covers and see.

    1959 Sea King Kill Switch

    I have the 35HP up and running pretty well now. I have found though, that idling down and choking does not kill the motor (guess it might be running too well?). The electric choke seems to be working fine and is needed to start the engine. Occasionally, when at low idle It'll cough and stop...

    Decals and engine Badges

    1959 Sea King 35HP Electric Start is up and running. This winter, I'm thinking of refreshing the motor with a fresh coat of paint (with a few minor mechanical clean ups) and new decals. I haven't found a source yet and am hoping for suggestions on sourcing the decals. Also, the engine badges...

    1959 35HP SEA KING Carb Jet Settings

    I was able to get the motor fired up and running in the test tank. It took a while but finally got the idle jet setting close enough to keep it running to tweek things in. Headed to the lake today this morning to dial in the main jet.

    1959 35HP SEA KING Carb Jet Settings

    Both the mercury switch and the Starter Solenoid came in today. I installed them and attempted an engine start. It wants to, but....... kind of sputters and stammers for a few seconds on "electric choke" then quits. If I remember correctly, The Low Idle Jet initial setting is 1 1/2 Open (from...

    I've been working on "JohnnyRude" motors for 45 years or more but am starting to get a little forgetful. I have now parred down my inventory of motors from dozens to Just one. A 1959 Montgomery Wards Sea King 35HP Electric Start. I am looking to you, the experts, on which manual is best. I...

    Willyclay, Thanks. I was searching for P/N0376867 (a single switch). Looking more carefully (under different model groups), I found P/N 0377363 (a double switch) in stock. Order placed. Fingers crossed.
