    8 to 10 Dinghy

    1974 9.9 Johnson running problems. I can get it started but then runs very ruff.

    Almost runs

    A 1988 is surely a screwed up DIY carburetor rebuild. Like leaving OUT those tiny gaskets under different threaded brass tubes. Or O rings on mixture needles. Or drilling out those tiny Lead plugs in some of the fuel passages. And unable to correctly replace them.
