We received a 9.8 outboard when we purchase our cottage and it's been giving us nothing but trouble.
We brought it home this winter, completely disassembled and cleaned the carb, and then it ran like a champ in the backyard. Took it up to the lake a few weeks ago and by the time it was mounted on the aluminum it started to have the same issue...
It starts every single time, one pull with the choke on...5-10 seconds after the choke is turned off it sputters and dies. We've tried multiple hoses, replced the bulb on one to be sure, brand new plugs, and brand new gas... Once it dies, I can't squeeze any more gas into the carb and the carb definitely has gas in it. I can't for the life of me figure out what else it could be, and it confuses the hell out of me that it starts without fail every single time.
thanks
