What is the best manual for the job. I'm good mechanically, just need some help with settings and adjustments. There is a clymer manual that matches from iboats, but not sure if it is a good one since it covers 2hp thru 40 and 1973ish through 1990ish models.

I just bought a carb kit with no instructions and a water pump kit which came with good instructions. I think these two jobs and new plugs will wake up this motor which has been stored for 10ish years.

If that's all you're doing to the motor, a Clymer is fine although a bit vague, but you can figure it out.

My plan is new gear oil, new plugs, pump rebuild, carb rebuild, and use straight no-ethanol gas. the motor looked like new under the cowling so I think that will do it, at least to get it running and see what I have. The only other thing I have noticed is a sticky throttle due to it sitting for so long. I oil everything I could find and worked it in, hopefully that clears it up.

thanks for the reply.
