Hi,
I have a question. I have a 1978 115hp johnson, that I rebuilt completely about 4 years ago. I usually use my boat year round. But due to health issues , I haven't been able to do much for about 9 months. Is there anything I need to do, before starting my motor, since it sat for so long. I did rebuild the waterpump today, and changed gear lube. Im just not sure if I should fire it up, after setting for so long , and not being fogged etc. I sure don't want to cause any damage to my more or less new motor.Would it be a good idea to squirt some outboard oil in the cylinders ? Any tips greatly appreciated.
