I've got a 97 9.9hp yammy 4 stroke that's always a struggle to start, but once started it usually runs ok.
Well this year, it didn't want to start at all. I checked the fuel filter and the supply lines, and I'm getting fuel to the pump and out of the pump. I finally did get it to start by covering the air intake on the carb with my hand. It will then start instantly, but when I take my hand away, I can't keep it running.
All the manual says is to bring it to a dealer. I don't really see any obvious adjustment screws for fuel mixture. Is their an adjustment that I can try moving to fix this?
We're usually fully stocked but you caught me on a bad night!
Tuesday night is usually "board meeting" night if you know what I mean. Stop in and have a tasty beverage some Tuesday night after these holidays are over and things get back to normal.
