I have a 1996 Merc 2 strok 9.9 . I would have to double check the year but pretty sure. I have problems starting it but once I get it started it starts first pull . The fuel fulter tank thing has a tube where the gas hose connects. This is where the gas goes in . That piece was broke . It was not cracked or totally broke. It just seemed to loose where I could push it back on. I epoxied and super glued because it was not tight. I pushed the plastic in and epoxied it .
I have to pull it many times it seems to get gas in the carb. Once it starts it starts first pull all night when I walleye fish. I use the trolling motor mostly but restart the gas motor to run to a new spot .
I run the gas out when done fishing due to gelling up. The next time I have to pull many times again. I dont know if I prime it enough to get gas in the carb. I prime till the prim ball feels hard.
I found the piece was broke before when it would not start at all . I pushed it in and would work . I decided to epoxy it at the end of the season .
It seems to have to keep priming and pulling till it finially get gas to start because once it starts I have no problems .Its the first start is where my problem is.
