Some might remember that a few months ago I was asking about a Johnson 9.9 my uncle had that had a thrown rod. A few weeks back he and I went hunting for a new one for him. After looking at two others, both of which were short shafts even though the sellers said they were long shafts, we took a look at a Nissan 9.9 that looks about new. Compression, lower unit, spark all good. He bought it on the spot.
Friday night we took it out jug fishing and it started up and idled perfectly. The problem was that when you gave it full throttle it would sputter and just wasn't putting out much power. I am fairly certain that the carb needs to be rebuilt, the problem is that the motor is a NS9.9B2......which apparently they do not make a carb kit for....if it weren't for bad luck he wouldn't have any!
So, now I am trying to figure out what I can do. Gaskets I should be able to just use gasket material and replace, but if the float is falling apart I really can't make one of those. Does anyone know of a kit that is similar enough that I could make it work? Any other suggestions?
I am amazed that a motor that is only 20 some odd years old does not have any available kits when you can buy parts for other motors that are 30+ years old!
