I just picked up a 99 gtx with the 951 in it and 166 hours. It had been sitting a couple years with no stabilizer. I was able to fire it up with old gas and a little starting fluid to help. It ran and idled no problem. I am going to run some fresh gas and seafoam in it. Any other suggestions? Should I go ahead and clean the carbs or do you think since it idled ok, to just run it?
I checked the compression after i ran it for 30 seconds. One was 105 and the other was 100. I know this may be low, but will it still operate in water ok? I am new to these type of engines/machine so any help or suggestions would be good.
Also, there is a tube coming out the back top left of the prop. Looks like you can connect a hose. Is this where you can start it with water in your driveway?
How you check to make sure the oil pump is working ok? Does anyone just premix the gas to be safe?
Thanks!
