Reply To: ’77 OMC 9.9hp hard start warm

My 76′ is just like yours. Got mine all apart in a box and did not have any of the safety interlocs with it. On a hot restart 1/2 throttle no choke…I have a primer button though..so no primer either. On a cool restart 1/2 throttle with some choke or primer squirt. If I use choke or primer too soon after a hot stop its 1/2 throttle, ten pulls or more or more to clear it.

With the throttle limiter it is a pain to clear a flood without waiting until cool enough or its 20 pulls or more.

I would suggest a fix but there is a possible safety issue with that fix.
