Hi guys !! I just fixed the 9.8 i bought last week it run good ... I had to replace the lower unit . I was lucky i found a complete engine merc 4hp fore 60 $ The lower unit was the same... Now i got some question about the 9.8 it run good but i try to go slow fore fishing and wen i go to slow it turn off witch is normal... but when i try to start it up again is giving me hard time have to crank 3 or 4 time no choke after put choke and it will eventully start after... Any ideas what can be the problem ?

Sounds like carb adjustment or the may need to be cleaned, that engine should not kill at idle it has a idle stop and should be killed with a switch or choke depending on the year
