Sorry all, I know I had half assed first inspection; issue was that the weather was AWFUL. Rain, lighting, barely could see out the glass or the dirty bimini lol. So I got to check it out in between the calm lol.
As for another test run, not likely. Boat is quite a far away from water atm...
Fresh water. I havent checked bilge area. Engine ran great but I was on water so I hadnt taken the hood off. No corrosion that I could find anywhere. From what I was told, it was bought in Pennsylvania from an old man who kept it in storage most of its life. Then this guy had it for a year oh so...
Survey? If you mean take it to a Marina, then no chance. They are only open when Im at work, itll be sold no later then tomorrow, and boat is at least 45 minutes from a marina anyway. Exactly why I am asking you guys for what I can check. Really just dont have a choice honestly, unfortunately...

I did that with the manifold as I watched a video on the VRO conversion and it said to flip it. Seen that it wasnt done on mine so figured id take care of it while I was at it.
Carb bowls are...
What annoys me the most is the only thing that was changed from when it ran to not was fixing the fuel pump leak. And changed orientation of the fuel manifold since VRO was removed. That's it :(
My friend is a great guy and knows nothing of the boat, trailer, or engine. We only just started discussing and asked if I could take it.
IDK, does this engine offend people? Am I missing something?
Also, I don't know where you all live but engines in my area are going for a lot of money...
