[QUOTE="tontofisher, post: 194321, member: 5581"] First off, AWESOME SITE. I got word last week that I would be given a 10 footer along with a 5hp motor and trailer (old family friends). I'm headed out tomorrow to pick it all up, trailer isn't road worth and the motor hasn't been run in at least 5 years. Which brings me to my question. The motor has been in the garage for at least 5 years and there is still gas in the tank. Other than draining it and then rebuilding the carb, is there anything else you guys would suggest? I figured I would drain the tank and check to see if the motor is seized and then assuming it isn't rebuild the carb. I do all my own mechanic work on my cars and lawnmowers but this will be my first boat motor. Anything I should definately do or not do? [/QUOTE]
