[QUOTE="GYPSY400, post: 482432, member: 8599"] Thats a good base for a boat considering today's covid-19 pricing ! When diving into an unknown motor, i would visually inspect the cylinders for scoring with a small flashlight and then check compression. If your above 80 ( not ideal, but acceptable) then its worth going further. Check for spark, if good then spray gas mix into the carb to see if it fires. From there you can take the carb apart and at least clean it. If you have no spark, you will need to troubleshoot why. Some will say go buy a carb kit and water pump right from the start, which isn't bad advise... but I try to do what I can before investing money. You don't want to spend $100 on said parts, then find out the cylinders are scored and the crank is pooched, and its going to now cost more than what it's worth.
