9.9 won't start

[jangvankirk]

I have a 9.9 yamaha that wont start.It ran fine the last time I used it about 2 months ago. When I try to start it does nothing . I am getting fuel to the carb. but the plugs seem dry, It has an auto choke ,by the way it is a 4 cycle.Is there something that I might check. I don't think it is anything major since it was running fine.I bought it used and I beleive it is around a 2004 model

Can't be a 2004 model. They haven't auto-choke. The older F9,9 have auto-choke.
Is it a F9,9A or a B model ?

Re: 9.9 won't start

Yours might have an acelerator pump. Pump the throttle a few times before starting. That'll shoot a bit of gas into it. Give it no throttle while starting. It has to be all the way slow or the auto choke will be disabled.

Re: 9.9 won't start

The year is 1998 9.9 4 stroke manual start. I put fresh gas in tank and flush lines and drained the carb, still won't start. Is there some thing I can check electrical.

Re: 9.9 won't start

I don't belive it is getting spark. I noticed on the front of the motor right hand side there is a metal box like that the throttle works thru and the gear shift . I does not allow the throtttle to advance in netural . There is a plastic shaft with a plastic cam on top that has broken or came loose . I don't have a manual so i don't know how it should work maybe there is a yamaha mech out there who can help me or show a parts break down of the unit.
