Alright. I think I'm ready to begin getting my Mercury XR4 150 Black Max ready for the water...after sitting for the past 7 years. I have all my tools, parts, lubricants, etc. all laid out and ready to begin...but now I have a question? When I start checking compression and spark by turning over the engine with a remote starter, do I need to have the Fuel Line and Oil Injection connected and running properly? I really don't want to score the walls of the cylinder. Right now, I have everything unhooked. Is this going to cause any problems when I turn the motor over?
Should I spray some fogging spray into the cylinders before I get started? Is there anything else I need to do before I begin?
Just so you know, here are the things I will be doing to the motor (that i am currently aware of):
1. Currently, only 3 sparks fire. I will be replacing a switch box. Hopefully it's just the one, and not both.
2. Installing a new Water Pump
3. Rebuilding the Fuel Pump
4. Replacing Plugs and Wires
5. Installing a new Low Oil Module
6. Replacing old Oil Lines.
As always, thanks so much for your help. I wouldn't be attempting this without you guys.
