74 Evinrude Sportster 25 HP

I may be able to get my hands on a 74 evinrude sportster. Engine is not locked up and prop turns freely. It has been sitting outside for probably 20 years? Will this motor be worth the trouble?

My friend is sick. Will he recover??

The only way to tell is to do some preliminary steps.

"Awakening a sleeping outboard" in Engine FAQs is a start. "Outboard won't start" after that, if needed.

Let us know what you find.
