9.9 evinrude not idling

[Poonpontoon]

I have a 9.9 evinrude 2 stroke not idling, ive cleaned the carb, adjusted the air fuel screw to 1 1/2 turns and adjusted from there to try lowering air intake and raising to get it to idle and it will not. Changed the spark plugs around 4 months ago and ive taken the boat out maybe 3 times since then... they probably have 3 hours on them. Does anyone have any ideas of what it could be?

idling requires fuel to reach the engine via the idle circuit.

did you remove the top idle chamber dime size plug to clean/inspect the 3 small drip holes and 100% cleaned out the side channel feeding fuel to the top idle needle which allows fuel to enter the chamber , ??

check for broken needle tip

what mdl# do you have how is compression ??? how'S the sparks

Are you adjusting the carb while in the water, on a boat while underway ?

The responder above asked you more questions than you answered. He has one of these outboards and uses them regularly.

He can not see, feel or smell your motor. If you answer his questions you will find your problem. Be specific.

Sorry dont like your attitude maam

yet the questions remain unanswered and it is up to you to help out on the diagnostic & happy conclusion. You would be surprised how much carb cleaner gets waisted...if the carb is not taken apart.

Folks here try to help freely but if we don't meet expectations folks on aomci can also chip in and recommend similar options for you.

Most all mfgrs recommend making carb adjustments while on a boat and underway... It does make a difference !! In my days of repairing motors ( yes it has been a while). We had long tubs with flowing water to simulate being on the water for carb adjustments. If you look at most factory service manuals, they state to make all adjustments to the carb air mixture and idle adjustments while on the water and underway. Might not be your issue, but testing properly will at least eliminate some things. Good luck...
