[QUOTE="derekdiruz, post: 430359, member: 16025"] Hello everyone, I've owned a 6hp johnson for years, however I recently purchased a 2000 Johnson 9.9. I don't have much experience with upkeep or protection of these because with the 6hp I generally didn't care. The motor was cheap, and it ran well. However, with the 9.9, I spent quite a bit of money with the hopes of having it for a long time. Prior to purchasing, I checked the cylinder compression and the lower unit oil, and the PO ran it for me. He said the plugs were fogged and the fuel had stabilizer in it, and it hadn't been run in a few months, yet it started up third pull and idled down very nicely. After that, it fired up first pull. With this motor, what should I be constantly checking? I'm meticulous with my vehicles, and with this would like to be the same. What is routine maintenance that I should do? What should I maybe do now? any advice or tips for me? Thanks! [/QUOTE]
