    PVANV help please on Nissan 9.8 rough idle if you would sir?

    Help please with 2011 Nissan 9.8 idle

    Re: Help please with 2011 Nissan 9.8 idle Paul- I'm pretty sure you nailed it on the overfilled crankcase.

    What is wrong with my 1984 9.9 throttle??

    The throttle has very little "play". It doesn't turn very far and has a small range of motion. It is hard to get it to the "start" or "full" position. As a result, sometimes it won't start. And it seems to flood easier, because I pull and pull. When I take the cowling off, I watch as I turn...
