Hey there, bgtrucks54 welcome to iBoats. If you're bringing a classic such as this back from a long nap, the best thing you could do is open the top thread here, called the "Top Secret File" and that will give you lots of good tips for the matter. Good motor you have there. :cool:

Howdy, Bgtrucks.

Welcome to iboats. :)

New to outboards? Well rule #1 is get yourself a Service Manual. It will save you many bux and prevent expensive errors. Look here: www.outboardbooks.com.

Rule #2 is: Tell about your problem in the topic. NEVER just scream "help". Many guys won't even open a thread unless they have an idea what it is about.
