Hello all,
I am purchasing a 1976 Glastron with the MERC 165 HP INLINE 6 cyl. motor and a pre alpha outdrive. It has not been run in 3 years. The outside of the motor looks very clean with no rust. The inside of the valve cover is free of rust. The engine oil is a little thin but clean. The lower unit oil in outdrive is a little dirty but NO water.
I want to fire it up, but what should I do to bring it out of hibernation?
I will drain and dispose of the old fuel in the tank and change the engine oil.
New plugs
Clean the carb up a bit.
What else?
Thanks in advance,
Jim
