Got to the boat ok ready for first tryout run. Engine starts and runs if I give it some Revs on the lever in neutral but won’t tick over if lever returned to central position. So can’t really see how I can move the boat for craning. Any advice, please? 9.9 hp Honda. Ticked over in the central position no problem last weekend.
All sorted! After half an hour of World Wrestling Federation action, I managed to find the damn catch to get the hood off the engine!! Cleaned the air filter and speeded the tickover a bit on the throtttle stop and all is well. Even managed to get a little cruise around s the marina and then onto the Grand Union for a bit!! Thanks for the quick replies, all. Phew. Thought I was going to have to cancel a lorry and two cranes.
Tom, silly question but have you tried turning the idle screw up on the carb body or leaving the choke out a little bit? Jud. ps. I see I was a little bit late with that!
That's exactly what I did, Jud. Worked a treat though motor's running a bit fast now so I'll screw it out a shade in the morning. Main problem was working out how to get the motor hood off.
Hi Tom, all the best for tomorrow. Glad you got your motor sorted while I was typing my reply! I've got a Honda on mine and I had a bit of trouble with it cokeing the plugs. 2 sets of plugs and and some trial and error with the mixture screw and now it runs nicely. Jud
Urgent help needed if you can
