If it was mine first make sure compression was good then I would take
carburetors off and clean them out real good, replace fuel pump diaphragm
and replace water pump Impeller and then take it out.

The trouble is,, he did not run the gas out of the carburetor,, it has
been two years since the boat has run,, when I picked it up I noticed
the gas line attached to the motor. I have not tried to start this
engine yet (50 Hp Merc.) What should I do first ???????????????????
