[QUOTE="jonmac3569, post: 216141, member: 6462"] This was a outboard my grandfather had and it has not been run in probably 8 years or so. I changed the lower unit oil, plugs, etc hoping that the last person who used it ran it out of gas. It would not start so I got a service manual for it and I broke down the carb tonight. You can see in the pics what I found. White chaulky powder which I assume is whats left of the fuel that was trapped in the carb for the better part of a decade. My plan is to blow it out with compressed air and the soak it in carb cleaner. Then buy one of the carb rebuild kits and change out all the gaskets, etc. Am i on the right track here? First time tinkering with an outboard. [/QUOTE]
