    Did the 77 9.9's have a tell tale, CDI, reed spacers and round exhaust yet ?

    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.

    Did the 77 9.9's have a tell tale, CDI, reed spacers and round exhaust yet ?

    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.

    When an outboard is "hard to start" what is usually the cause and what is the solution

    Thanks, at the very least I'm going to disassemble the carb and drop it in a ultrasonic cleaner .
