MERC 2.4 Carb & 6 years

Stored it for 6 years in as gravel floor warehouse in Minnesota.

Now we want to get it running & sell it & a near new HydroStream VEGAS 20' V for $11500. (a small buck for the 83 MPH ride YA!)

We will:
Flush fuel system
change plugs, gear lube
& Impeller...

What else B4 that 7,000 - 83 MPH run?

We want a 24-35' FORMULA or 101 MPH pocket rocket. VASSERETTE, ALLISON or ...

Thank you.

I'd premix 20:1 with Merc Hi perf oil and run 2 gallons thru it like that (in addition to the oil injector if you are running one - 16:1 if not). Before you spin the crank, spray wd40 into all the cylinders and then one by one turn the flywheel by hand to BDC and spray each one again.

There's a chance that you have some rust pitting on the rod needle bearings so run it at high idle (2000 rpm) for the first few minutes.

Good luck. I've got an 8-year 2.4 in a barn myself.
