1991 Johnson 25HP-Fuel was left in tank,fuel hose, and carb. for approx. 2 years. What steps should I take to ensure proper o/b performance?<br />Thanks for the help.

Soak and clean it all in carb cleaner, or a like solvent. Put a can in the tank and let it sit for a few days, replace the hose with new, pull and soak/rebuild the carb overnight. Only way to get rid of the vanish.
