    1998 9.9 2 stroke mercury troubles

    Okay so I had 95PSI on top and bottom but I wasn’t getting good spark on the bottom plug, I used a drill to keep the engine turning so I could see and it would light up when I first got it going, but it wouldn’t stay lit for longer than a second, if you know how to properly check an Ignition...

    1998 9.9 2 stroke mercury troubles

    I’m going to pick up both testers today, so I’ll hopefully have the numbers this evening. And also how do I go about checking fuel flow?

    1998 9.9 2 stroke mercury troubles

    I believe so, all the holes lined up for the passageways It’s is a Factory carb, the guy on YouTube went over the factory specs from the manual (I looked them up to be sure) how do I go about checking compression? And the bulb on my tank will stay tight and I can see the fuel in the filter.

    1998 9.9 2 stroke mercury troubles

    Okay people I’m back again unfortunately, so now I’ve got a brand new carb, fuel filter, and fuel connector. I’m still have extreme trouble getting it to start, again only getting it to run at full throttle. I’ve tried factory carb settings I seen on a video on YouTube and I felt like it wanted...

    1998 9.9 Mercury 2 stroke idling issue

    Okay so I found that it is called the idle speed screw and it sits on the cam follower. It moves when you turn the throttle. I can post the link if you would like to the website with all the stuff I’ve been trying to go off of...

    1998 9.9 Mercury 2 stroke idling issue

    I’ve taken it apart but I don’t really know what to look for I was just looking for like dirt or stains in it. I’ll take it apart tomorrow evening sometime and see if I can find something else. Anything I should look for?

    1998 9.9 Mercury 2 stroke idling issue

    I’ll see what I can find online about a rebuild kit. Because like I said to my knowledge (which is not much) it doesn’t have any dirty spots or clogs that I could see.

    1998 9.9 Mercury 2 stroke idling issue

    I do choke it just to get the fuel running through it but then I turn it off, I’ve run it on fast idle most of the time. I’ve messed with the idle screw, I went off factory settings which is screw it down til it touches and then 1- 1 1/2 turns past. And the mixture screw on the carb, I know not...

    1998 9.9 Mercury 2 stroke idling issue

    Okay, so the motor will only start when in gear I can’t get it to start in neutral only at full throttle. I get good spark but I don’t know the gap of the plugs. And I don’t know how to check the compression number. I most likely don’t have the correct tools to check it. I feel like it has...

    1998 9.9 Mercury 2 stroke idling issue

    I have 9.9 mercury and I can get it to run but only when it is full throttle and I’ll pull the cord. I can’t get it to idle and it’ll die after about 3 minutes. The carb to my knowledge is clean, I’ve tried spraying it and no help. Any suggestions on what it could be.

    1998 9.9 Mercury 2 Stroke Running Problem

    So a few months back I traded for this motor and I can not seem to get it running. I quit working for probably the whole month of June because I was getting no where. I started back at it again yesterday and it would run but only when I had it full throttle and pulling the cord. If I tried it in...
