For anyone who viewed the "What do I have?" thread, you know I have a 1977 Ford/OMC 302 w/ 190 H.P. V8 and an electric shift stringer outdrive on a 20' Larson Manta. After resolving some ignition issues, I think it's ready for a test run at the lake. It runs well in the driveway but I didn't want to run it more than a minute or two w/o a water source. What are the chances that, after 6 years of storage in my Dad's barn, the impeller will work. Is there any way to check this before going to the lake?
I've replaced the plugs and the ignition coil. I've checked the lubricant in the upper and lower unit of the outdrive and I've drained out the old fuel from the gas tank. Is there anything else I need to do before this test run? Thanks in advance for your words of wisdom.
