Briggs&Stratton 5hp

[MRS]

Picked up a 5hp 4stroke briggs & Stratton outboard great shape has not been started in maybe 5yrs. Should I put a couple drops of oil in the spark plug hole before I try to start or just pull a couple times easy then go for it? Thanks for any help on this.

It can't hurt anything to oil the cylinder and pull it a few times.

 

[MRS]

Thanks I did a little oil in will try to start tomorrow.

Took the little boat out this morning ran like a champ did put a few drops of oil in last week and it fired right up smoke a little then cleared right up.

Hey - Lawnmowers sit all winter and fire right up in the spring.

The B&S is one of the air cooled ones?

Yes air cooled sounds like you are Farting across the lake but runs real good.:laugh:
