Awesome video! I actually just restored/complete tear down of a family member's 1985 Evinrude 4HP twin cyl outboard. It started with needing a new water pump, after sitting for over 10 years. That engine has no tell-tale pee-hole. It discharges the return water out with the exhaust - which means there was and is, no real way to tell if it's pumping and circulating through the entire block. Mine wasn't... After stripping the block, removing all covers and even the head, I found a clogged cooling hole/passage and cleared the blockage. Probably 20+ hours of labor into it, lol. It also has the 100:1 oil sticker on it!! I had no idea they did a recall on this, and that it should have been 50:1!!! I scratched my head on this and had already told my family member to run 50:1, even without knowing this. I told her to just keep a few spare plugs on hand. Of course, she didn't... I would love to share the photos and videos I took, if you want to see them.

I rebuilt my carbs on a 85 model 88 Special, I did not replace the fuel hoses and therefore had to pull the carbs back off and clean them and found bits of rubber hose, then I replace all fuel hoses and all was well. The new gas formulas are diff now a days. Same as you, I run the motors out of fuel each time before storing. All is well when you need it. Thanks again Sir, great video on an old relic. I am sure she will do just fine.

Thanks for sharing your inside informations! I recently re-activated a Volvo-Penta 140 (about 12hp) outboard motor, which my father bought somewhen in the 70s or early 80s. Very similar technology. After almost 25 years of storage we replaced both water-pumps (engine coolant pump and boat drain pump) and the sucction-driven fuel-pump membrane. And now its running again - generating the same fun to my children as it did one generation ago in my childhood to our family. I am curious , if todays technology will still be usable in 35 years - thinking about electronic spare parts availability ...

Interesting as well. I have a 1984 15hp, and found that it runs and especially idles a LOT better once I discovered it was supposed to run 100:1 and am running it at that. Apparently the idle mixture adjustment has been deleted on this year, is there something else I can do to let it idle better if I go to 50:1? Thanks.
