I rebuilt my first carb on my 2001 Mercury 9.9 bigfoot. Everything went well except I'm not sure what this part is (- see attached picture #37). In the rebuild kit, this part came with it so I changed it. The engine runs great until I put the cap (#38) over the #37. Then the engine has a...
This is my first time trying to rebuild a carb and it has become a mission instead of just a project. So far I realized that West Marine is not a great place to shop for engine parts. Ordered carb repair kit, paid a fortune, installed it and it was crap. Found out that the float, while it...
I'm rebuilding my first carb. Everything was going very smoothly until I tried to put the new float on.
First the pin that goes through the float and is held down by a screw didn't fit. I had to use a hammer to get it through! Then, of course when I tightened the screw the float would not...
Any suggestions on where i can get a quality Carberator for my Mercury 9.9 bigfoot? The year is 2000 or 2001. Serial number is 0T001061. Willing to buy online.
Also, do these come complete and ready to install? I really don't want to mess with taking this apart again.
Only reason I am...
I am attempting to rebuild this oldie and not goodie back into a goodie. I pulled up the carpet that was in there and realized that the wood flooring underneath the top level of fiberglass was almost all rotten away. I removed the top layer of fiberglass and have removed most of the rotten...
2000 Mercury 9.9 bigfoot 4-stroke.
Engine continually dies on me, when I can get it to run, as long as I keep it at a high throttle, it will stay running, the minute I throttle down it stalls. I took the cover off when I did get it running and noticed gas coming shooting out all over the place...
Just bought a little 13 foot boat with an older Minn Kota 50PD Powerdrive unit with foot control on it. Here are my questions:
1. Is this a 12V or 24V motor? No batteries came with the boat...
2. I have a 12 V Die Hard Marine battery from a different boat I am not using, can I use it for my new...
Here's the quick story. Bought the boat 2001 ProSport with 150 Mercury Carbed outboard this year from dealer. Finding things left and right wrong it. Needless to say I'm upset, but it is what it is. I bought her with a half tank, but filled her up with high octane and have kept her full all...
I have a 2001 Mercury 150 HP Carburated motor that ran that has run pretty well all summer until today. I was having idling issues earlier in the year which caused it to stall at low rpms. I had a mechanic look at it and he said I just needed the idle adjusted. Well, that didn't help much and...
I accidentally pulled out a small black wire that is runs outside the motor and down into the lower unit. What does is this wire for, and do I need to remove the lower unit (hope not) to reinstall it? If I do have to remove it, where does this little wire go down in there.
I have a 2000 Merc 9.9. Today I put it horizontal to the ground on it's bracket and locked it into place before taking it out fishing. I smelled gas so I put it back to vertical and took the hood off. I noticed gas coming out of what appears to a plastic pipe attached to the carb. I've...
I have two outboards, a 2000 merc 9.9 bigfoot and a 2001 merc 150. I was going to replace the plugs and wires when I realized the replacement wires do not exist except for a kit to make your own. The wires are not typical as one end looks normal with the boot, but the other end looks like it...
I have a 23 ft Prosports boat with a 150 Mercury. I bought a heavy duty bracket and want to mount a 115 pound kicker motor (heavy 9.9). The transom is shaped in such a way that the middle is cut out in the middle for the main engine. I want to mount it to the right, but it would be up higher...
I was taking off the lower unit so I could check the condition of the impeller and "SNAP" - The head of one of the bolts sheared right off. It looks like they used locktite when putting these bolts in as it took all my weight to budge them. Now that I've completely messed up, what do I do?
