How To Quickly/Easily Clean a Carburetor on a Outboard Boat Motor (9.9HP Johnson)

[@peterpauldonoghue7024]

11:17 There is a little spur on the bottom of the starter spring mechanism that engages with the block It’s also handy if the flywheel is in the best position with the ‘cutout’ lined up with the 9/16” bolt Thanks for making , uploading & sharing .. ☘️

You put together a helpful, succinct primer. Thank you.

[@triwaves757]

Thanks buddy 🤙

3:56 ignition coil ? Pull starter mechanism Be very careful with this ‘mad snake spring !! Best to remove the 9/16” bolt till it is just clear of the engine block and holding the whole thing together remove it as a whole - wrap electrical tape around the whole thing to whole it together!! Another hint , place come kitchen towels in the bottom of the bottom cowling to prevent nuts and washers falling down the gear shift shaft hole !! The 7/16 ( 11mm) nut that hold on the LHS of the Carburetor is hard to remove without removing the starter spring Also be careful with the accelerator throttle which attaches to the Carb - there is a little washer on the back of this which will fall when you remove the bolt- use a magnet to hold this when you remove the bold holding the throttle ... thanks for the video and uploading- Keep Safe 🇮🇪 ☘️

always replace those old cork original floats. at the very least check to make sure its not soaking up fuel. there are 3 tiny holes in the rear of the carb. those are the most important to make sure are clear. remove the core plug if unsure. air can also leak around the low speed needle retainer. all of these should be replaced in the new OEM kit. the high speed orifice will have little effect on starting. in addition, the indicator stream is week. these come out strong. a common issue is the 2 grommets under the powerhead get swollen and clogged. id make 100% sure its not overheating at idle with a temp gun. the thermostat can also be stuck, and is a pain to do on these.

Ignition coil? Try again. Starter cables? Not quite. But you got it back together and it runs. So good job.

Thanks for a great instructional video. Mine is a 1976 Evinrude 9.9 so this is a huge help,

[@triwaves757]

Thanks for watching and glad it helped!

[@tvdinner325]

I use a couple of powerful magnets under the carb to catch any dropped parts.

[@fixtritephil7712]

Many of the screws and nuts on OMC motors are non magnetic stainless.

I'm new to boating but I was told you should never start your outboard out of water?

[@andrewthomas5085]

yes you should always have water going through it, running it without water burns up impeller and a lot of other parts, always have water

[@hberglions9046]

Can you just use like a carb cleaner that you add to gas tank ie bg 44k?

[@gonzalomanriquezjr864]

I was debating on putting a 15-20hp on my gamefisher but that 9.9 seems to push it pretty good.

[@triwaves757]

This 9.9 handles great on my gamefisher. Can top off at 17MPH.

Graphics on cowling match 1980, not 1982. Check model# to verify year.

[@Camstratt]

Am I tripping or are you running an old outboard without water

[@tylerbrengle9652]

Nope, not tripping. No muffs on the intake UNTIL the end 13:41.

[@theinvade1197]

You aint trippin, he is! WTF?

[@crainoxlong2338]

you don't run your outboard out of the water it ruins the impeller in the water pump

[@Eric-ur3dd]

don't you hear the water running? he's obviously using muffs.

[@crainoxlong2338]

@@Eric-ur3dd yeah i guess your right

[@davedunbar4685]

You need to ID parts better!! Ign coil its not!! Good video though!!

[@theunkownanthony9501]

Never run a motor out of the water, I recommend putting a trash bin filled with water.

[@fixtritephil7712]

Running without water WILL burn the pump impeller in a matter of seconds Fact
