[QUOTE="dyeguy1212, post: 101008, member: 1460"] I've been doing a little CL shopping, and I came across a deal. Problem is, the owner says the gas has been sitting in it for a few years. Its an 84 mariner 30 HP. I know NOTHING about outboards. I know a few guys with 2 stroke knowledge, but I'm scared it will only get me so far. If I can't see the motor run, whats the worst case scenario? All the seals eaten up? Gas hoses ruined? Motor ruined? I know I'll get plenty of "Dont buy it dumby" responses, but if its likley fixable for under 100 bucks, I'll take my chances. Any input? [/QUOTE]
