Hello everyone,
New to the forums, boats, and I/O engines in general. I recently purchased a 2000 Starcraft Aurora 2415 with a 5.0 GL. I haven't picked up the boat yet so the only picture I have of the engine compartment is the one attached. I know it's missing the flame arrestor and cover, but does anyone else notice anything obviously missing/broken/wrong?
I plan on cleaning everything thoroughly when I get it and replace belts/pulleys/spark plugs, clean the carb, flush and change the oil and filter, and drain and flush the fuel system and replace the fuel filter. Is there anything else I need to do before starting it up (or attempting to..)?
Finally, any reason not to go aftermarket for the flame arrestor? An OEM shield and cover look too expensive so I'd like to buy a used or aftermarket shield and fab or 3D print a cover myself.
Thanks everyone!
