[Rhodes22-list] Yamaha 9.9 ideas needed.

[ALICE WEISZ]

   OK guys,  I've done things I thought I could never do... Before this
   my only knowledge of a spark plug was a box seen in an auto shop.
   ANYWAY,

    I've removed and cleaned both spark plugs,

   I've located and drained the carbeurator pan,

    I've located and cleaned the fuel filters - both in the gas tank and
   in the fuel line.

   I've put motor cleaner through the fuel line and sprayed it
   carbeurator cleaner into the carbeurator opening .

    I've disconnected the fuel line twice and let the gas with additive
   run out and stop the motor.

   I've played with the idle set to no avail.

   Still the problem persists:  NEUTRAL runs only at max throttle.  BTW
   ... no problems starting the motor.   All this after only 3 weeks of
   not starting the motor and some new fuel - before which it was purring
   like a happy cat.

   My next idea is to find the "auto choke" and see if it's stuck.  Other
   than that, a local serviceman suggested that I disconnect the
   carbeurator and bring it to him for service..... that one's beyond
   even my limited knowledge or guts.

   HELP, please!!!!

     Ed or Stan: Is the filter mentioned in Ed's reply recommended for
     the
     9.9 four stroke utilized by General Boats....and does one size fit
     all?
     Elton's procedure for starting it started with a few bulb squeezes,
     putting the engine in gear and twisting the throttle to full a
     couple of
     times, putting it back in neutral and twisting the throttle about
     1/4
     turn (as far as it goes in neutral) and then hitting the start
     button.
     Mine usually starts for a few seconds than stalls....but after
     repeating
     the process will generally start right up....and I'm ready to go.
     Sometimes I'll get a cloud of blue smoke for which clears in 10
     seconds
     or so. Dan in NH
