Its an old boat and I suspect it was rebuilt one time before I got my hands on it. But I think my build will be pretty close to what it had coming out of the factory. I will definitely be doing a compression check before even trying to fire it up. Turning it by hand it at least has some compression. Its sitting on its side on a cart in the corner of my garage until I get my Transom back together. As long as compression checks out I will do carb cleaning, fuel pump, fuel filter spark plugs, water pump, lower unit oil. Not sure of anything else I should do on an engine that has been sitting for 14 years. Are there lower unit seals I should consider replacing? I haven't done much wrenching on outboards.</blockquote>
