" I have a 1989 200 johnson. The motor hasn't been run in over a year. The gas in the tank is over a year old. I started it up and it was hard to start. It finely started to run on 2 or 3 cly then picked up to all 6. It ran for 2-3min then started to drop cly. then quit. I pulled the plugs and they were fouled. I cleaned them and it ran good for1 min, then shut down. Ok I figure the gas {35gal} is bad so i'll drain the tank and use fresh gas. My question is do I need to clean the tank and how, and the carbs would they need cleaning too. I heard OMC makes a cleaner that hooks to the fule line to clean the carbs while the motor is running. Thanks Chuck "
