At higher rpms it seems to run fine, but then again now that I remember it when I was running at higher rpm, it didn't die but would randomly have a stutter, like I'm wide open and it would quickly go back down to like half throttle on its own then back up (without me changing the throttle...

Will do, but would it overheat in 30 seconds? This started happening a week ago, and Im just getting around to trying to fix it, so I hooked up the water to it after it sitting for a week started it and boom starts happening 20-30 seconds after idle. Regardless, this is new info and Im stumped...

Doubtful, Ive been on multiple trips over the past few months since the last time the carb was off and it just happened out of the blue going through a really long idle zone, now it does it at idle all the time, when it didn't before. Heres some pics, took the top off you can see the path its...

Yah thats why Im so confused and just beaten by this….. Yet every time I take the carb off the engine after doing this, its full of gas….its never empty its like it dies because of flooding, and giving it more gas helps it start……mind=blown. Its like a 2012 merc 9.9 idk serial number. The next...

Not sure how…theres nothing to grip onto it, Ive seen some where they are threaded in but can be taken off with a socket this is just a circle…am I supposed to take a vice grip to it and twist? Also I did a few tests, took the bowl off and checked to make sure the float, floated…in some water...

Well I did drop the bowl, cleaned all the jets and what not… But I just took it off again and can't find anything worn or looking like it could be a problem. Its as if too much gas is getting into the bowl (inspected the fuel needle as well and it looks brand new), like theres too much of a...

The thing is its only about a year old. I wouldn't expect a rebuild being required that fast. I'm sure its something your suggesting tho, I mean there can't be a whole lot, I just wish I could pinpoint it. Its a merc 9.9 I thought it had to be a float problem as well but upon taking it apart...

So after months of the engine running flawlessly, I go fishing and while idling through an extremely long idle zone in an area where I've always had problems for some reason, the carb started screwing up. It runs fine then about 30 seconds later gas starts spewing out of the top where that...

Went to a relative of my aunts private pond to fish bass for the first time (or I should say to catch bass for the first time), first 2 casts caught these 2.....23" and 22", 7.5lbs and upper 6lbs on the 2nd one. Caught on a plastic minnow, after I caught these they stopped biting, caught a few...

I kind of figured this was the case, pretty much the answer I was looking for. I just want to be 100% sure it isn't some kind of carb issue. I'm not disappointed in the performance just thought it was kind of odd and since its my first boat/outboard I wasn't entirely sure about it.

I am confused as to how these things work. Below is a pic of what my tiller handle looks like (isn't the actual one) and has the little gauge that goes from small to larger bars representing more fuel/speed etc. But I notice once I am about halfway up it is pretty much at full speed and any more...

Anyone? Customer service for company is closed.... no one's bought a new motor recently?

So I ordered a 9.9hp motor. I found instructional videos for setting up the same motor (smaller hp though) and read through the manual multiple times. As far as I can tell they only say to add engine oil, are motors supposed to come with gear oil already in them?

(Hammond, Louisiana) Thanks for reminding me, I've been real busy trying to finish up my boat project and I have finals this week but I'll definitely get it all squared away soon. Yah, I'm a fishing newb I have no idea what hooks are called specifically or their specific size I just, figure what...

**** never would've guessed. Great little motor
