I bought a 9.9 Mariner 2 stroke today. I am hoping I did not make a mistake. It seems to be in great shape and it ran for over an hour at idle. Here is my question. There is a plug in the bottom of the carberator that the guy said has to be removed in order for it to run. If you put the plug in it shuts off in a matter of seconds. He said it was running for about 30 min then shut off. He said that he noticed that the gas looked like a very good microbrew. he said he pulled the plug out to drain the bad gas from the bowl. He also tried to pull the cord a couple of times to try to move the rest out of the pump, It started. And ran. Now the only way it will run is with the plug out of the carb. Only issue is that Gas also runs out of this and is not a good idea. I thought that since this thing ran so smooth and it was such a good deal I could get this fixed and still have a good deal. Any idea's here? I am sure it is something with the bad gas maybe a float or something. I was hoping I could just hook it up with good gas and let it run for a couple of hours. Any suggestions.
Also does anyone have a link to the service manual.
