I was "gifted" this 9.9 Mercury 2 stroke. Idea was to get it running and sell it.
Needed a new CDI switch box. Got one, installed, have spark.
Have fuel hose, but no fuel tank. Clipped one end of hose to motor, pinned open other end and dropped into gas can with 50-1 mix, Pump up fuel bowl, crank it. Runs a second or two then stalls. Runs a few seconds if I put a bit of gas in carb or cylinders.

- Does it need to be hooked up to a proper gas tank to run properly? Does having the tank end pinned open affect how the fuel is drawn in?
- Does anyone have an owner's manual for this so I can learn proper starting procedure? I see there's a primer button that seems to come out one notch further for... choke?
