I have a 1973 25hp pull start motor, specifically, model 25302A. Assuming I am totally new to outboard motors, which I am, What should I do before I even try to start it for the first time. Supposedly the engine ran perfect but has not been started in 6 years, was stored fogged.
I was thinking: First check the compression, Look it it over and look for rotten fuel lines and electrical lines, Clean or replace the spark plugs and set the gap, Replace the lower unit lube. Change out the impeller, rebuild the carb, and order a sierra tune up kit, has new points and such I believe in it.
Am I doing to little or to much here? not so concerned about going overboard but don't want to do to little
