After allmost three years of sitting both of my motors started today.( pulled the distributor and pumped out the old oil, poured in the new and ran the oil pump with a drill as I turned the engine over by hand for about 10 minutes)
Have to change the water pump impellers and clean up the boat.
Hope to have it on the water next weekend.
OH i also have to replace the input shaft seal on one of my outdrives. ( leaking oil into the bellows)
