I have a 1987 or 1988 Nissan 8 hp and need some advice as to what I should be looking forward to when trying to start her up after sitting for about 8 months unused. <br /><br />The last time I had it out was on brackish water and did not flush with fresh water, drain gas or prep for storage before putting it away for eight months. I have been searching online and have already concluded that I'll have to remove the carb and clean. <br /><br />What concerns me most is the salt water that has been sitting in the lines. <br /><br />1. Should I get a carb rebuild kit while I'm at it? <br />2. What should I do about the salt water that has been sitting in the lines and water pump? What exactly should I be removing and cleaning. Then, how do I do it? <br /><br />Please, if you have any patience at all I would really appreciate your help. You can always email me at frankscerbo@gmail.com directly but I'll continually be checking this post.<br /><br />When I get her going again I'll be sure to take more care of her and keep in my garage rather than 40 miles away at the water.
