All,
I need your help. I have a 1989 Sears Gamefisher 9.9 outboard. This was my first outboard and I rebuilt the carb, replaced the impeller, and did a lot of work on the starter. She starts great now and runs smooth in low RPMs but I have a very strange problem. When I twist the tiller to full throttle she doesn't often go into full RPMs. Instead she perks up to 6-7 miles per hour and then several minutes later all of a sudden full RPMs kicks in and she's going 10 miles per hour. She always maintains full RPMs once she hits it but the moment I lower the RPM and try to go back...she's back to the lower RPMs. I'm typically going in a straight line when this happens and it's frustrating not hitting full RPMs all the time. Any ideas what it could be? I've installed new fuel lines, a fuel filter, and re cleaned the carb several times now. Any help would be appreciated as I'd love to fix this very annoying problem.
