Well we bought a 16ft dayboat of e-bay. it came with an outboard engine which we were told had been standing for many years.<br />we have no idea on size or year of the engine. <br />it has several numbers on it :<br />G580562,<br />Set points: 020<br />G0057925<br />any idea what any of these numbers mean ? any idea where we can get a manual?<br />we have tried to start it but to no avail. the fuel is running through the line as we can see it in the water...what happens next we don't have a clue...<br />any ideas?<br /><br />thanks,<br />Andre Smith<br />please reply to andre88uk@hotmail.com

You will need to change lower gear oil and replace water pump and thermostat. When you change the oil make sure to use new gaskets on the plugs.

And if the fuel came with the motor, chuck it Andre.<br /><br />Use fresh fuel, and make sure you mix in the right 2-stroke oil. Don't run on neat fuel.
