Opened the cooling water intake seacocks, turned the batteries switch to
"on" ... gave the throttles a little bump up over idle, turn the keys and
.... varoom !

Both engines hardly turned over once and they lit off and purred. Little

or
no smoke to speak of. It was as if they were just running 5 minutes ago
and I shut them down for a minute.

They had not run since last September.

I start getting the itch hearing them run and the sound and vibration in

the
boat.

I have a Sears Roto-tiller like that. You can spit on the ground,
give the engine a funny look and it will crank right up after
6 months in hibernation.


The thing just wants to run.
