68' 55hp Rude: 5 year maintenance

[Thunderhawk]

Hey everybody quick question, gonna do a little more to my motor this year aside from the normal: fog cylinders, gearcase oil, lubricate pivot points ect...

Gonna check: fuel lines, carb nuts, low speed needle adjustment,new impeller, new plugs, link and sync, fuel pump screen, decarb, compression test
( before and after decarb?).

Am I missing anything?

Should I pull fly wheel to check points ect...?

Been about 5 years since I went through this motor, runs real strong now,
NO real issues, Thanks for any input.

replace all your fuel lines with alcohol resistant lines, Ethanol,, eats the interior of the old ones, and cloggs the carbs.

What about pulling the flywheel to check points? It dose run good now though.
