[QUOTE="gps4, post: 507300, member: 31687"] I’ve got a 1982 mercury 40hp outboard I’d like to get running again. It’s been sitting up in my garage for 2 years. I plan to check compression on the cylinders, check for spark, and then remove and clean the carb, and replace water pump impeller. What if anything do I need to do before I hook up the battery and turn it over to check compression? Do I need to spray anything in the spark plug holes to lube the cylinders before I try to crank it? Thanks in advance. [/QUOTE]
