  • Low compression on 1994 9.9 kicker

    I have a 1994 9.9 high thrust kicker that has lost compression. I bought this motor new and it has served me very well over the years. On the third day of our recent trip the motor suddenly quit and a compression check shows only 50 psi on each piston. the oil tank was full on starting and a small amount of oil was used in the hour it was runing. I have also run a compression check with oil in each piston and the compression level did not change. The model number shown on the motor is DT9.9C and the ID number is 00994-581404. Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.

    I know this is an old thread but it worth a try. I have a 1994 DT9.9 that needs a few parts. It had no spark when I got it, built a CDI unit to get the motor to run to sheck out the gears and such. It works fine. Any chance you want to sell the CDI unit?

      Jerry, your best chance to find a good cdi unit, is to google the part # with item name. When you do this, your chances of finding used, and new parts will increase. if used, make sure they post a pic, for comparing, and make sure it came off a working motor.

      Good luck.

        Solarman, I've found a few CDIs new and used that are exact replacements. I'm just hesitant to spend anywhere from $150.00 used to $300.00 or more for new. There are Suzuki CDIs on Ebay for DT 9.9 that are much less but aren't the same part number. Maybe a new thread is in order to explain the differences between the CDIs for small engines. I know some CDIs measure the RPM then advance the spark based on that measurement. Pretty sure my engine does a mechanical spark advance by rotating a plate under the flywheel.

          Be careful of parts from e bay, have seen some knock-off parts from there, look identical on outside, but cheaper internal parts, that don't hold up more than a dozen hours, then fail.

          Good luck on your decision.
