Let me start by saying I'm very new at tinkering with outboards, so bear with me, but I'm committed to learning how to repair these myself rather than trying to find someone who will.
I've acquired a 1987 Mariner 9.9 that needs some carb/fuel pump work (i think) and I need help Identifying which carb I have.
I'm suspicious of the carb/fuel pump for 2 reasons so here's a little background.
First, the motor will generally idle fine for about a 5-10 minute stretch but will quickly die if you advance the throttle for more than 10-15 seconds. I can keep it running by rapidly pressing the little primer button that's on the right side of the carb or by manually spraying fuel into the throat.
Second, this motor ran just fine last fall when i bought it although I only ran it in my test barrel before I stored it away on the garage floor for the winter. I ran it for at least 30 minutes at varying RPM's with absolutely zero issues.
My goal:
I'd like to rebuild the fuel pump, carb and primer button thing all at the same time but I don't know how to properly identify these parts in order to obtain the correct rebuild kits.
Can anyone shine any light on this for me?
