I have the 200 merc carborated model year 2001. It is the toughest starting motor I have ever had. either it starts first thing or just might as well have a beer and wait cause cranking it over aint going to start it. Less than 50 hours on it. the other thing is it has a dead spot in the rpm range and you get about 1/3 rd throttled up and it starves out of gas. I am going to take mine in as soon the good salmon fishin in the sound is over and have them check it out again. what is the recall about.
