    Air intake for a 1974 9.9hp Evinrude

    You may have an exhaust leak. And if your running in barrel try using a fan to blow away the exhaust.

    78 Evinrude 9.9

    If you are asking about steering friction it appears to be number 85 in the diagram. A screw with a spring. Most of my OMC motors it is in the center of the swivel tube and you need to get down and look for it. I do not own any 9.9 so not sure. If your asking about tilt friction it is number 32.

    Evinrude 35HP Outboard

    Did you try both cylinders? Your explanation suggests you tried just one... Check to see if both spark plug leads produce an open air spark of 7/16".

    Fuel leaking when motor tilted.

    The fuel delivery problem is solved. It was the bayonet connector. I have 2 tanks and 2 fuel lines and I was running on one side for the first few trips and I had no problems.. The last few times running from the other tank . So I brought a 3rd 3 gallon tank to try today. When I removed the...

    Smells like gas sludge from L.U.

    It is normal to have some unburnt fuel. If motor is running well then I would not worry about it.

    It is tiller throttle and if I hold it wide open it gets up to around 24 mph and then after running wot for a while the boat loses speed and I can here the rpms drop off and decreased speed for several seconds. Then it suddenly returns to the 24 mph again. Last year I had the same issue when...

    Fuel leaking when motor tilted.

    I started leaving the motor down and just running the electric motor at a higher speed. And I ran the carb dry before tilting it at the end of the day. My main concern was the high speed surges that started af ths same time I noticed the carb leaking. I'm not sure if it's related or not.

    Fuel leaking when motor tilted.

    I was pumping it just to see where the fuel was leaking. I do not have any motor that loses all the fuel in the carb while tilted and it only started recently so I do not think its normal to have to refill the carb after motor has been tilted maybe I am wrong. I understand that some leakage is...

    Fuel leaking when motor tilted.

    Early 80s 40 hp. Serial # 7207752 Canadian made. When tilted fuel runs out of the carb throat. I know some fuel dripping is "normal". If I pump the primer bulb with the motor tilted it pours out. If I prime it while the motor is down it fills the bowl like it should and the the bulb gets hard...

    These are some pictures I found.. You can see the different sizes of the carb bores.

    Any way to definitively tell between a johnson 9.9 and johnson 15 hp outboard?

    I believe the 9.9 carb will have a smaller throat then the 15. Someone may have changed out the hood to be able to go on hp restricted lakes.

    Just wanted to see if water should be coming out of this hole on this 2008 Mercury 75hp 4 stroke.

    That looks like a cavity drain to me. If so then normal.

    1963 Evinrude Kill/stop switch wiring

    I have added a few kill switches to older motors that didn't have them. And I just connected to the points. This is also what I read to do.

    1974 Evinrude 25hp issue

    Sounds like it is running on 1 cylinder. You said points. Did you replace them or adjust them? The points need to be cleaned even if new. Spark should jump an open air gap of 1/4 inch or more on both leads.

    Help would be greatly appreciated

    All of my larger twin cylinder motors in running condition have 135 psi and more.
