"Hi folks,
I am getting my boat and yamaha 9.9 ready for the season. Toward the end of last season I had problems with the motor dying about 1-2 minutes (or less) after starting and then not starting again for about 15-20 minutes. It seemed to die about the time the choke would kick off perhaps.
Advice from a friend is that I need to clean the carburator. One person advised me to spray carb cleaner into the air intake spot and crank the motor and then let sit.
Another person told me to remove a screw down at the bottom of the carb and let the crud drain out, then try to spray carb cleaner in the gas line.
Another told me my 'float' was probably stuck and that I needed to get a rebuild kit.
So, are these good recommendations? And, where can I find instructions about how to clean out and/or rebuild the carb? I'm fairly good at following detailed instructions.
Thanks in advance for your valuable information and advice.
