    This man is genius. I have a Mercury 9.9Hp that was doing the same thing, backfiring and sputtering randomly. The minute I disconnected the toggle kill switch the problem went away. I thought I was going to have to scrap the engine for parts. Sir, you saved me hundreds of dollars. I cannot Thank You enough !!!!!!! Such a simple fix but yet something you would probably would not think would cause these symptoms.

    I'm also having a problem with the engine misfiring. Went through the spark plugs, and wires. Cleaned the coil pack, and I think its in the carb. It sat for 2 years and they didn't drain the fuel. I think the fuel separated and gummed up the carb and the fuel line connection.

Then I wiggled the wiring pigtail connection that supplies power to the coil pack, while engine was running. The engine smoothed out immediately. It was a BAD molded factory electrical connector. I spliced in a new one, all was good until It failed again 6 months later. Chasing wiring gremlins, while not knowing there are wiring gremlins, is not fun.

  • @mervynpearce2082
    @mervynpearce2082 7 лет назад +1

    This is a common fault on this engine. I belong to a club which has 4 of these engines. The wiring runs under the carburettor and so does the throttle and gear cables. When you select a gear the cables rub through the killswitch wiring and eventually causes this problem. All 4 of our engines had this problem.

    OK...I have a 95 mariner. Just bought it. Been reading lots of opinions and info, I was told to change gear oil and fogging it ect..then I was told you dont need to do that every year..if you store it upright wrapped in thick blanket in garage or a shed for the winter to keep elements off, it should be fine. (We dont winterize our cars right? ) I know about fuel stabilizer. If the motor is kept in an upright position then water drains out lower unit. I just poked it away like that for winter(. I'm in cold climate). I believe the two stroke oil I used already has stabilizer component. Any suggestions? thanks.

    • @bekbor
      @bekbor  8 лет назад +1

      Hi, I think I did not understand your question or problem, but if you want my suggestion about winter storage - I keep the engine upright, I change the gear oil before storage and I flush the cooling system (I use the motor in salty wather). I also grease the engine through all the grease nipples, I use Quick silver storage seal spray in the cylinders. Best regards!

      Our kids haven’t been running the jon boat all summer because of this somewhat intermittent problem. The switch wires that he shows are routed UNDER the shifter cables. They were worn through. To test for this unplug one of the wires on the, eh, black box, the cdi/coil pack box, whatever it’s called. As soon as I unplugged it we knew right away that was the problem. This video led us to a problem we could not see as the wires were worn under the shifter cable under the carb. Thanks again to the guy who put this video up!

    • @bekbor
      @bekbor  3 года назад

      No spark on both spark plugs? If so, either the CDI (the black box) is faulty or the stator coil under the flywheel. I would measure the resistance of the stator coil under the flywheel, it has 2 coils and 3 connections, one common for both coils - they connect to the CDI box. Measure the resistance towards the common lead, one should be around 2 to 3 Kohms, the other around 200ohms. Here are the values www.outboardignition.com/page39.asp This stator coil failed 2 time in my 20 years of having such an engine so it could be also your problem.

Was running good and strong at WOT then it spit like it was going to stall for a second, then ran strong again. We stopped to an idle for a couple minutes then it stalled. Restarted it a few times and it ran rough then stalled out again. We were lucky a friend went out with his bass boat along with us and he towed us back in. I will check the 2 kill switches in the morning. Hope that is what the problem is.

The terminals of the stator end on the black switch box, The black os common for both coils, mrasure the resistance from the common lead to the other 2 terminals. One mesurement should be a few hundred ohms, the other 2 to 3 kohms. Its the coil with the bgger resostancebhat suffers, the isolation betwren turns melts with heating of tje engine thus the tesistance gets lower until the coil finaly burns out.

      Have you checked the carburetor adjusting? Everything else is pretty much fixed, no possibility for ignition timing setting... Of course, check if the ignition coil moves freely when increasing and decreasing throttle. Check the spark plugs gap. That what I would do.
