"To no one in particular:
I've pretty much given up hope on this motor.
It's a 1977 9.9 Eska/Sears Gamefisher. I've got this motor pumping water with a new water pump, it's starting and idling fine. It just won't accelerate when it's in gear. It's an interesting problem.....The motor won't plane off/accelerate unless I move way forward in the boat, as I move forward in the boat, I begin to pick up just a little bit of speed, then all of a sudden, it's like the high speed jet kicks in and off we go like a scalded dog. It does about 15-20 MPH. I can even slow down a little bit, but as soon as it comes off the "high speed" jet, it just starts bogging again. When the engine is in neutral, it will wind up like a raped ape, but as soon as it goes in gear, it just kinda bogs again. I've rebuilt the carb as per the factory manual, the fuel pump is new, the bulb is new, but in that factory manual, (brix) nowhere is there any info about how many turns of the low speed needle or setting the height of the idle screw. I've adjusted the float as per the brix manual as well.
The settings I used for the low speed (idle) needle are 1.5 turns out from gently bottomed all the way in. The manual says that the main (high speed) jet is fixed. WHich it is, so no actual adjustment can be made. I adjusted the "stop needle" on top of the carb to where it will evenly idle. Which it does..
I'm at a loss....
Is there a two stroke outboard guru out there who can help me?"
