[QUOTE="Pappy, post: 266037, member: 3278"] "Tuned" can be a very liberal word. If you can, find out exactly what was done and when. Water pump impellers should be changed out around every 3 years or so. Gearcase oil checked and changed every year. Both of these more often if running in shallow weedy water. Engine should be greased every year. If the carb is clean and runnable and the ignition system is runnable so much the better. Would check the points and clean and re set them to .020. They can be cleaned with WD-40 on some Wet and Dry 220 grit sand paper or just the paper. I run all my 3hp engines on 24:1 mix regardless of how "new" they are. They love it, run well on it, and to date I have never seen an engine die from too much lubrication!! [/QUOTE]
