"My 4.5 year old 9.9 with less
"My 4.5 year old 9.9 with less than 75 hours will seize up after sitting several days. It will not turn over by pull-rope nor by starter motor. After several minutes of pulling and tugging, it will mostly break free, but still turns over reluctantly. With considerable difficulty, I can get it started. Then it will run beautifully as long as needed. After sitting tipped-up all day while I sail, I drop it back and it starts and runs beautifully. The next weekend the problem starts all over again. The local certified Honda mechanic did a major ($1,700) rebuild with no improvement.
I am getting ready to switch to a Yamaha.
