Johnson 9.9 2-stroke is lazy to start

[Sergey T]

I have 98 or 96 Johnson, and it takes me till 30 minutes of "choking" until engine starts.<br />After warming it works fine till another long (>2 weeks) no boating time.<br /><br />Any idea why it's "not willing" to start after two weeks time?

Are you pumping your primer before you try to start it? Does the bulb get firm?<br /><br />Try squirting some fuel mix in the carb before you try her. Do not use starting fluid.<br /><br />Let us know and we will go from there.<br /><br />Good luck.
