Thanks.
Would you pull the CDI and flywheel from a 1977 9.9 and swap it into a 1976 15 for better spark. I had issues last year with plugs fouling which I suspect is from weak spark. I had to regap and sand the points which was a drag.
Lesson learned ... Don't lend out anything you're not willing to lose.
Obviously, he's not your friend anymore.
But you can still be friends with his wife.
Thanks guys. Did a little more research.
Leroy mentions in 81 the 15 got the round exhaust. And the 9.9 finally got it in 90.
I can totally relate. I never noticed a huge difference between the 9.9 and the 15's. Other than noise (high rev) and bit more torque under heavy load. Noticeable...
This tiny outboard has been in storage for 4 years .
It starts & runs, but is very rough .
What work needs to be done in order to get it running smoothly.
