    In my not so humble opinion, the 1974-76 9.9/15hp motors are to be avoided. We had a terrible time trying to make them run when new.The factory couldn’t make them run either. They came out with several "fixes", none of which worked. OK, let the protests begin. I realize there are some out there running just fine. Just sayin…

    BTW, they finally fixed the problem 1977-up, with electronic ignition.
