Trying to help a buddy out with his motor,08 4 stroke 9.9 hp carb. Motor will start sometimes and run crappy,,so I cleaned carb,did not really find any thing. so I pulled off what is called the starter assembly,looks like a solenoid mounted on top of carb. i energized it with 12 volts and it did nothing so i assumed it was bad. But I talked to a suzuki dealer and he informed me that it takes a couple of minutes for this solenoid to heat up and push plunger out,,apparently some sort of enrichener. The weird part is,,if i pull this solenoid out and hold my finger over the hole it starts and idles great. I talked to the dealer and he thought that I still have a obstruction in carb,so I tore it apart again and cleaned and blew it out but no luck. Is there something that I am missing,and what is the purpose of this solenoid. Motor has new plugs,compression is good..It almost has me wondering if this could be a valve issue,,but the weird part is how it runs when I put my finger over the hole where the solenoid goes. Any advice much appreciated.

2008 suzuki 9.9 four stroke wont start
i had a chance to tear back into the carb and it is as clean as can be. When I got it back on,i had my dad start the motor and I had a rag totally plugging the air intake and wala,,the dang thing started and purred like a kitty,intake totally plugged. Messed around for a while with it,now it will idle with just a little of the intake exposed,very little. Anyone,i am stumped. -
I would screw the air mixture screw all the way in, till lightly seated and unscrew it one full turn. It sounds like you're pulling air into the cylinders but not through carb? Are any vacuum lines open? If lines are open that should plug into silencer cover they may be letting to much air in?
Good luck. Let us know what you find.Comment
