I have a 40 HP outboard engine (on 14ft McKee) that has not been started for 1 1/2 years (due to illness). The engine year is 1983.
Now, I am ready to get back on the water.
Q: Do I need to have the engine "serviced" before attempting to start the engine?
Q: What do you suggest that I need to do (if anything) to the engine before starting?
I have changed (emptied old gas, and replaced with new) gasoline, purchased new spark plugs and 2 cycle engine oil - in the event that I need to have the engine serviced.
I thank you in advance. - Curt
