[QUOTE="Pappy, post: 274859, member: 3278"] If possible run the engine on ethanol free gasoline. Your tune up should include an ignition tune up, points cleaning and set at a loose .020. Check ground wires and condensor wires plus loosen ground screws and clean connections and re tighten. Spark plug wires should be checked both at the coil end and the plug end. Check for cracks in the wire, corrosion at the ends. Check coils for cracking and replace as necessary. Carb should be checked and cleaned as necessary. Probably the most important service point is to install a new impeller at the very least or a complete water pump if the cup or lower plate has any grooving in it. Monitor the gearcase lube for the first few trips and reseal the gearcase at the first sign of water if you dont feel like resealing at the time the water pump is serviced. New spark plugs arent really that necessary. By all means run at 24:1 mixture. Much cheaper than replacing a powerhead due to lack of lubrication. [/QUOTE]
