Today went and got 5 gal of gas to test start the engine. Being it has new fuel hoses, gas tanks , it took about 4-5 minutes to fill up the lines to start and sounded nice and smooth.The last time i heard this motor was about 2008 or 09 when i went for a ride with GregS. Being i have not had a I/O motor since 1998 i did not double check the engine drain plug from last winter and could hear the drops of water landing in the bulge so i got the old winch out. So this day was spent checking the gauges , fuel hose connections for leaks ,watching the motor go around, etc.
