[QUOTE="MrGiggles, post: 443244, member: 22613"] I would put it on the water and run the piss out of it before diving in too far. And, like you said, you'll then know the overall condition of the motor. When they sit, the gasoline evaporates, leaving a sticky oil film on everything. It takes some loaded run time to clear it all out. Fast idle in the barrel doesn't do much but load it up worse. Adding a strong does of seafoam to the tank can help as well. I don't generally use it but it's inexpensive and can't hurt. Put new plugs in too if you haven't, make sure they're gapped correctly. [/QUOTE]
