"I am working on a old 115 HP

"I am working on a old 115 HP inline 6 Mariner. The motor has been sitting for about 15 years. I know that the carbs will have to be rebuilt, along with a new impeller, new spark plugs, and regluing the magnets to the flywheel.

The motor is hard to turn by hand, and I am not going to try to turn it over with the starter.

Any hints or tips on bringing this motor back to life? I was thinking about taking it off the back of the boat, and mounting it on a frame, as the boat needs work too..."
 
"I am sort of in the same proj

"I am sort of in the same project right now... reviving a 200 hp 1989 mariner sitting about 8-10 years. Aside from all you mentioned i had to replace ALOT of oil/fuel lines just frombeing so cracked, dry and broken. I found gecko eggs in my lower unit... its definatly an interesting project to eat up some free time.
Good luck!"
