was hte fuel stabilized?

if not you probably need to clean or rebuild the carbs.

also you need to change the water pump maybe even the thermostats while you have the lower unit off make sure you put some compressed air or put the water hose to the water intake line.

probably plugs, fuel filter,etc...just the basic tune up you might expect.
