    Cold starting 9.9

    I have a 2001 Honda 9.9 that requires any where from 30-50 pulls to get it to start if it has sat for any amount of time. It acts like there is no choke. This motor has less than 20 hours on it.

    WOT V 3/4 Throttle

    I have seen plenty of post that say to run the boat at WOT. I have a 115 on an aluminum 19' Crestliner that planes easily at 1/2 throttle. I like to run it at 3/4 Throttle when cruising out to the fishing site. This surly cant hurt the motor can it?

    Adding oil to the TNT pump

    One of my TNT cylinders has a small leek (I plan on fixing it) When replacing the oil do you pump the oil in or fill to plug -lift-fill-lift. It's a 1977 115 Johney. Also the parts man at the local marine said if the valve body was bad it could not be rebuilt. Is this true?

    A few simple carb questions

    By doing some of the different self test, I figured out my # 3 cylinder on the 1976 115 was not getting fuel. I took that carb off an did a through cleaning job. I put her in the lake and she ran on all 4 again pretty darn good, but now at idle she has a bit of a spit back. Do these carbs have...

    Honda 9.9 Alternator?

    My honda 9.9 (2002 model) has a plug next to the handle that says 12 volts 6 amps? I'm guessing this is a plug to an alternator? If so can I just get a plug to fit it and hook it up to keep my battery charged when using it as a kicker?

    my 85 115 omc will one time start and run just fine and the next time start and run on 3 cylinders ( this will happen from one start to the next in the same day) It seams to only drop the cylinder from start up. I've had the carbs cleaned and new plugs put in. I'm thinking it could be a bad...
