Hi;

My parents have a 1996 Suzuki 9.9 that's in need of a tune up.

It is a little rough starting and has no top end power.

I haven't seen it yet but I'm going to bring a carb kit and a head gasket. Am I in the right direction? Any known issues with these units?

I need to know how many lbs to put on the head gasket when I put the head back on as we do not have a manual. I'm guessing around 75lbs - please let me know!!!

Also, I need to know where the reeds are in this unit - I want to make sure none of them are chipped.

Please let me know and thank you in advance.

just do a carb rebuild, to replace the head gasket is a bit extreme ...... check the compression ...
