Subject: RE: starting old motor





Location: Athens, Ohio
My repair shop has a sign that goes along the lines of: "Old outboard motors are quaint and have a lot of memories, but do you want to trust your life and the lives of your family to a thirty year old engine?"
That said, I'd take it to a qualified shop for a thorough overhaul. Rings, seals (nobody's mentioned the lower unit here!), have them go over it all real good before you venture out on the water and find the problem you (and we) might have missed. m
