    Aux engine size

    I have a 15 foot fibreglass Savage Vampire with a 55hp engine on the back. What would a good size for an aux engine be. I have a 4.5hp I got the other day, but just not too sure if its going to be bit enough.<br /><br />Thanks,

    Runs on choke only

    I recently purchased a Merc 4.5hp. It had been sitting in storage for 1 year, without being started. It starts first pull of cord, on choke and idles and runs ok. As soon as I turn the choke off it stalls. What could be wrong?<br /><br />Thanks in advance.
