1991 NS9.9 Question

[zbadboy]

I am looking at buying a 1991 NS9.9 from a private owner. He says it does not have electronic ignition. If it doesn't have it, can I add it? There are three models NS9.9B which I think is a 4 stroke and NS9.9C andNS9.9D2. I am waiting for him to get back with which model it is. Also, I have the same year range Nissan (NS40C) already on the boat. I want to have the smaller engine for the small lakes. Will my steering connections bolt up to this smaller motor in the same year range? thanks

The 9.9's have had electronic ignition since the early 80's and no.

Thanks for the response Guru. Let me clarify my question. The motor does not have electronic start. I was wondering if it could be put on. As far as the steering is it simply having to buy a different adapter for the steering, shifting, and throttle conections.

Thanks

You mean electric start don't you? Yes, it can be added, but the cost would exceed the value of the engine....About $600.00 for the parts. You would need an SRC kit for the existing controls. Basically the engine is so old that anything you do it would not be cost effective.

Thanks for your insight. I am leaning towards a newer four stroke 9.9. Once again thanks.
