    9.9 1974 Johnson Heavy Black On Plug

    So, doesn't Patiolatern get an award or at least an honorable mention for 'sticktoitivness'? Holy crap, talk about the proverbial dog with a bone!!! My hat's off to you sir.

    Is this 9.9 salvageable?

    I did consider that, but I've used this one recently and it seems to read as expected: did my Harley and got 148 & 149, then a Ford V8 that was clearly trashed and got from 0-180 depending on which valves were vent. Still doesn't rule that out. For for the sake of idle conversation, does anyone...

    Is this 9.9 salvageable?

    I know huh? And yet here it is running up river on an 18' drift boat. It started easily and ran smoothly, just wouldn't rev up. Just a bit bizarre. And if it ran that good at 50, can you imagine what it might do at 120? 🤔

    Is this 9.9 salvageable?

    Well, that's that for the winter. Finally got to do a WOT (though cold motor) compression test. 50 pounds both cylinders. She's tucked away under the bench while I decide if it's worth a winter project or otherwise. Thanks to those for their help.

    Is this 9.9 salvageable?

    Just an update should it be a value to anyone. Got a carb kit and put it in. With respect to the "tube" I found laying in the bowl, there was a flag on the order that talked about the enclosed tube not fitting, in which case order an alternative. Well, I got the tube on, but I think it's the...

    9.9 1974 Johnson Heavy Black On Plug

    I'm just learning about these 9.9s, so if my ignorance shows, forgive me. While reading your issues my first thought was to swap the position of the ignition parts particular to each cylinder and see if the issue follows from cylinder to cylinder. By that I mean to swap coils (assuming you have...

    Is this 9.9 salvageable?

    May have found the (or at least a) problem. Removed the carb, removed the bowl and found this black tube laying on the bottom. Never seen this setup before but assume it's there for a reason. Ordered a kit.

    Thanks guys. Much appreciated.

    Is this 9.9 salvageable?

    OK, now the real dumb questions come! Why won't the exhaust exit the prop in a barrel? Something to do with pressure in a confined space? And I got to wondering about the mixture dial adjacent to the choke. I noticed that I could turn it to either limit (CW or CCW) pull it off, rotate it (the...

    Is this 9.9 salvageable?

    Thanks for the responses. I'll need to set up for another compression test. My understanding of the older two strokes was that low compression resulted in hard starting and almost immediate plug fowling. Right now it starts easily and the plugs came out clean. Is there any way to confirm that...

    Is this 9.9 salvageable?

    I know that's a vague question considering that one man's trash is another's treasure, but I'm trying to decide how far down the rabbit hole I want to go. It's an '88 E10RCCD that I acquired on a project boat. When I first fired it up there was no tail tell so I replaced the impeller. Solved...

    fuel pump pulling power

    Search yielded nothing on this. Curious if the fuel pump on a '99 25HP motor can pull fuel from a remote tank, about 12' away. Thinking of installing a tank under the bow. I did this years ago on a much larger motor without issue. Wasn't sure if the smaller motor could do it. If not, thinking...

    curious about cleaning the cooling system on an outboard

    I recently aquired a boat ('59 P14) that was "in great shape" he said. I'm in the process of replacing the rotted transom and rotted portion of the floor. I was able to get both motors ('99 Johnson 25 and '88 Evinrude 9.9) running, but the 9.9 kicker wouldn't pee. Tried to remove the lower unit...
