I just bought a 9.9 from a guy at a good price. I bought it cheap becuase it wouldnt start. It has 110 compression on top cylinder and 95 on the bottom cylinder. I got it home and pulled the carb and cleaned it real good. It now starts on the 2nd pull and runs great. The pee hole was stopped up because it had sat in storage for a while. I noticed ALL the water was coming out of what I think is the exhaust (top 2 holes under cowling in the back of motor). So I blew air down the indicator fitting and presto, it pees a hard stream now. Tested it on the jon boat saturday and it runs good (loud). I noticed at about 1/2 throttle I hear a resonating - gurgling sound, and it appears to be shooting water out of the same 2holes in the middle just under the cowling. It does not seem to do it at idle or at full throttle? Is this normal??? Is this the main exhaust? If it is I would assume I have a leak in a gasket somewhere.
