I've been having problems with my Honda 2001 BF9.9 4-Stroke. It has been running fine at idle, and fairly easy to pull-start but recently started boggin down, then increasing speed, then boggin down again when in foward gear.
I took it to the local outboard mechanic and had the carb(s) cleaned / rebuilt and the 100hr service done.
picked it up and took it out this weekend and it ran great for about 5 minutes and started the same problems as above again. The only difference is now the engine is very hard to start (couldn't get it started again after it stalled on the water) and the choke lever no longer pulls out and stays. If you pull out the choke lever it immediately pops back in.
Any suggestions? Are the Spark Plug and Fuel filter usually included in the 100-hour service?
Any information is greatly appreciated!
Thanks!
