Good afternoon.
I have a 2013 Honda four stroke 9.9. Three weeks ago this motor would only Idle/start with 1/8 of choke. If you gave it any throttle it would die. Any more or less choke and it would not start. I removed the carburetor and everything was clean. I did notice some water droplets in the bowl. This made me assume I had water in the gas. I got new gas and returned to the motor two weeks later. With the new gas hooked up I quickly realized the choke was stuck and the throttle control would not move.
I again removed the carburetor and this time the whole carburetor was filled with corrosion and every part was seized. This motor was not left in the water between the first time i removed the carburetor ( was clean) and the second time (competently seized up). I ordered a brand new carburetor and put the old one to the side soaking in solvent. I installed the new carburetor, New spark Plugs ( as they had signs of corrosion), and had brand new gas non ethanol, with stabil and the motor will not start.
Fuel pump is pumping gas, Carburetor has fuel in the bowl. Spark plugs are sparking ( tested with spark tester and got a strong spark). Green oil pressure light is lighting up. I even sprayed some starting fluid in the carburetor intake just to see if it would try to start and it did nothing.
