My 9.9 1996 sears gamefisher ran hot from clogged water intake .

Question

It shut itself down .I cleared the water intake .I let it cool off and it started right up but it would only run 1/2 throttle .Even through the throttle was at full speed.I took a compression check and both cylinders were the same 120 each.Any ideas ?

First of all look to see if you burnt any wires or hoses around the block, or look to see if anything melted under the flywheel due to extreme heat from the unit overheating, I would replace your water pump or at least check it!! I happen to have a spare impeller instock for your 1996 9.9 Gamefisher - you can email me thru this site.... or at the address below.

Also check the transformer it sits on the left side of the motor when you are standing behind the motor facing it, its a little black square box with a spade terminal on the bottom and it should have a white wire connected to it approx 5-6 inches long - make sure it (the wire) isnt burnt or shorting out to the block.

I also have the rebuild kits for the carb and fuel pumps.

I hope this helps!!
