"Hello,
I have purchased a "project" boat and motor and need some help.
The motor is a 1968 Johnson v4 65 hp (VXL-14B) which is attached to a 1969 Glastron v156 Sportster (16').
The motor was last started 3-4 years ago and the former owner stated that it ran fine. He did say it was leaking a little oil, but that was about it.
Question: What should I do to the motor before attempting to start it? Change the plugs?, change the oil in the gearcase?, clean the engine with a degreaser?, etc....
Also, does anyone know the history on this model?
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks,
Mike"
