Hello iBoat Community!
I own a 1989 Sunbird with original motor and trailer ( only 25 hours on the motor ) which i purchased about 18 months ago.
My 89 Evinrude 48 SPL starts everytime in less than 3 attempts.
No issues, other than it sounds and shakes like a harley davidson as you would expect.
Currently has no fuel water separator, and no evidence of having one in recent history.
My maintanance consists of pouring a few ounces of seafoam in the tank when i fuel up and that is it.
I have not even located the carbs or spark plugs yet ( I would love any links or info PLEASE!!! )
....so why am i posting? to ask your opinion:
Should I remove said-aforementioned plugs and carb if there appears to be 0 issues because "its due"...OR... it ain't broke so don't fix it?
...25 hours is a joke btw... if you have ever bought or sold a boat I hope you get it =)
