This is a little long, but I wanted to provide you with as much info as possible.
The model is J10RCCD (1988) 9.9 hp Johnson
Numbers I found on the carb MX433333 (on the metal body). It has the plastic top with 5 screws and the number 337833 (I think it?s a 1992 15 hp carb).
I bought it a few weeks ago and when I went to pick it up the guy had the cowl cover off (which now, I think might be odd). He fired the motor right up. He told me it was 9.9 with a 15 hp carb that he had as a "spare" and hadn't used it in a few years (it just sat in the corner of his garage). He showed me the water was peeing out the back so the impeller was working but he recommended I keep an eye on it. I laid the motor on its side in my Tahoe (throttle handle facing up) and drove it 1 hr home then hung it on the back of my boat. I didn?t have a fuel tanks so I just left alone for about a week. I noticed gas/oil coming from the exhaust/prop. I loaded it back into the Tahoe and took it to the local boat repair place and asked them if the oil by the exhaust was normal. Their mechanic looked at it (and smelled it) and said it was exhaust and not to worry. I bought OEM 2 stroke oil, OEM fuel line, OEM impeller kit and OEM lower unit oil. I replaced the lower unit oil (old oil was a little dark) and installed the impeller kit. I purchased a fuel tank (Atwood 3 gallon from Cabela?s) and tried to start the motor?no luck.
I text the guy I bought it from and he said, ?I started it for you?. Basically, I felt like he didn?t want to help. I asked if there were any tricks to getting it fired up and he was short with his answer again and didn?t help.
I?ve since check the compression ~95 PSI on both cylinders. I hooked up a light to my spark plug wire and it lights up when I pull on it. I?ve checked the gap on the plugs (they were at .038 and I re-gapped them to .030). I also got a new set of plugs and gapped them to .030?still no luck.
Seems like it almost starts the first pull after its been sitting a while, but it doesn?t start and eventually floods (same oil/gas eventually starts to drip out through the exhaust). I?ve tried every combination of choke/throttle I can think of. I?ve pulled the plugs, disconnected the fuel lines and pulled it a few times to dry it out.
I haven?t tried starting fluid because I?ve read mixed reviews on using it.
I haven?t pulled the carb off to rebuild.
It does have 2 kill switches?one at the end of the handle (with clip installed) and one by the pull starter. I haven?t messed with them at all because I saw it run when I went to pick it up.
I called two boat repair places. One wanted $125 and the other $90 to diagnosis the problem.
What can I try next? Any info/guidance is greatly appreciated.
