Unhappy 1997 35 h Evinrude - bad starter

This motor was purchased new. We have had it in for repairs every year we have had it. We have been told that this year/make motor is just not a good motor. We winterized it, had it running good, put stable in it and stored it for the winter. Went to start it up...same problems. Turns over - won't start.

Is it just a bad motor or does someone have a clue what the problem could be. Have had it at different repair shops.

It is AGAIN sitting at a repair shop.

you have to have a couple of things for them to start and run correctly. start fully charged battery, clean connections battery and motor. kill switch/lanyard has to be engaged. proper spark,compression, fuel/oil/air mixture, and proper link n sinc. of spark and carboration. if you have these it should run.
