I did exactly what you told me. There was no change. Thanks for your suggestion.

1. Outboard started this morning. 2. Ouboard started to move to spot 2. 3. Tried to start outboard, dead. 4. Outboard started than begin to sputter and die. A - All choke and lines pressed. No Choke! B - After 3 above, pulled choke out, outboard sputtered. C - Eventually outboard started.

Separately, I thought 4 strokes were fuel injected not carburated.

I was adjusting the choke on the outboard from pushed all the way in, to pulled all the way out. There was some effect. There was that bad car exhaust smell to varying degrees. I don't remember when it was worse but I would think it was when it was pulled full out.

Hit the lake last week and the same thing happened. Paid full attention to EVERYTHING. Choke, sputters, false starts, etc. Came home and did a quick search on symptoms and dx was ... something was creating a vacuum in the fuel line. My fuel was low, like was just above "E". Hitting the...

I did a bit of research with my posting history with regard to this outboard and this is at least my third post about this outboard in 3 years. It will be the last, as the choice is made for me. Thanks

I was going to try "the rope" had I not been able to get it started again. I think this outboard is on borrowed time anyhow. I was a fool for buying it used from the dealer but c'est la vie, live and learn. I don't know if I'm going to buy a new outboard or new smaller boat w/outboard. I...

In my neck of the woods, if you turn the key and the ignition cascade fails, it did not turn over. Ergo my terminology. Pardon my venacular failure of terminology.

Don't think it was flooded. I'll be ordering new plugs tomorrow anyway, probably due.

I'll address the second, first. Smelled like old exhaust, obviously not CO but some like an old car, pre-catalytic converter. The sound was like it was trying to turn over but couldn't. Sometimes like it was trying to turn over but couldn't, other times, a couple of times nothing but no...

It's been taking several times to get the 9.9 Yammy 4 stroke. This morning got it started, ran 30 minutes to my spot and fished. Heading for the next stop and it won't turn over. Electricked over to a different spot, fished for an hour and tried to start it, it turned over. Two questions: 1...

I want to change the opening on the bow of my G 3 1756 from circular to rectangle. There’s the pic of the current opening and the blade I was thinking about using. Before I do the cut, do you think: A. Is it worth it? B. More difficult than I think? C. Correct tool? Thanks!

You are a VERY fortunate man. Good to see you’re on the mend.

After my conversation with the Yammy dealer yesterday, I think it’s pretty much a moot point now.

Just got off the phone with a local Yammy mechanic. It ain’t gonna be easy and it ain’t gonna be cheap! Will have to run outboard until issue occurs THEN do it again to dx. His recommendation would be start with kill switch related, ignition connections first and then down the line. A myriad...

New outboard probably not an option with supply chain issues.

Just got off the phone with a nearby Yammy dealer. Looking for a 9.9, is probably a minimum of a year out!

I’m thinking about getting a new outboard BUT I’m unsure if the attaching screw pattern between a 2012 and 2022 Yamaha 9.9 remote steering. Do I need to use screws through the transom if the pattern does not match well? Thanks

Thanks! Will do …
