I have 2 2001 Honda 9.9hp outb
I have 2 2001 Honda 9.9hp outboards on my boat. If I let them sit for a week or two they are really hard to start. They are both electric start. Pumping the throttle a few times seems to help but they still don't start right up. I have another boat that I put a 2007 Honda 2007 on and I have the same problem. After they do start then they will start right up every time until they sit idle for a week or two. I use premium gas now to see if that helps but so far it doesn't seem to. A friend of mine has a 2005 Honda 8.0hp on his boat and has the same problem. I had 2 older 9.9hp Honda's (1981 and 1983) they both started with no problem. They were not electric start but would start on the 1st or 2nd pull. Is there anything I can do to fix this?
