first boat, no owners manual, wife says leave it alone, I say i need to know if i should be doing some miner maintenance, do you need to check lower end? greasing, cleaning off, any help out there would make me feel better knowing i checked everything in case it won't start out in the lake. |

Some useful advice HERE for a motor that has not been run recently, or simply new to you.
Clean & reset or replace plugs ( I find L82C and UL81C listed gapped at 0.030" )
Fresh fuel. 50:1 with a TCW3 spec 2 stroke outboard engine oil
Check gearcase oil for level and signs of water ingress. Change oil if in doubt)
Possibly change water pump impeller otherwise ensure not overheating
Grease all grease points lightly oil other external moving parts
