My Force 150 finally blew up this year after leaving me stranded 3 times in the last 2 years in the ocean and I picked up a clean low hours 98 carburated Merc 175 this week. I'm getting all the controls, oil tank, etc with the motor. Are there any other issues besides the 40 gals of mixed fuel still in my tank that I need to worry about? Will the original tach, voltmeter, ignition switch, etc work? Looks like my new AFB rack helm/streering will work just fine. The Merc was on my boat's twin (98 2002WA) and the previous owner is switching to a 4 stroke.

Any suggestions or help you can provide will be greatly appreciated.
