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?
I am so very sorry to hear this and so sorry for the loss of Chamois. She was beautiful companion.
We will always miss the dogs we have lost. Unfortunately we lost both of our dogs just 6 days apart in November.
