A friend of a friend is going to buy a '63 Hydrodyne with a 4 cylinder Volvo Penta powerplant. She has been sitting since 2007 and while I am no stranger to bringing old outboards to life, I have very limited experience with Inboards. Other than replacing or rebuilding the water pump and hoses, replacing fuel lines, filters, Carb kit, LU oil and seals, crankcase oil, and belts. Is there anything else that should be looked at and or changed?
I don't have the model number for the engine yet so I haven't downloaded a manual from Volvo. I am hoping it won't be one of the ones in German or Swedish.
Thanks!
P.S. I am also hopeful that I can still get tune-up parts for it.
