I'v got a 20year old 7.5 cc OB K&B...help!!!

Postby FastCat09 » Sat Dec 17, 2005 3:49 pm

I've got a 7.5cc K&B outboard that is around 20 years old. The whole engine is intact and has been mounted to my dads boat. It ended up sitting around after we moved for about 15 or 16 years and now I'm redoing the entire boat for him. I just need to know what i need to do to succesfully get the engine running again. Any and all help please. Thanks in advance.

if anyone has any idea that could help me give it to me casu the closest hobby shop is a good hour away and calling doesn't me much and gas is quite expensive to keep going back and forth.

thanks

It should be fine.

Grease the flex shaft and put a few drops of oil in the intake.
