[QUOTE="maintenanceguy, post: 470156, member: 24227"] Even if it goes "vroom", I'd want to disassemble and clean the carbs before I trusted it on the water. I'd also change EVERYTHING from the fuel tank to the carbs - hoses, fuel pump, water separator, water filter, etc. Old hoses can degrade inside and tiny bits of rubber sucked into the carbs can ruin a day on the water and result in an expensive tow.
