Looking for input...
I have come across a late 90's Honda 9.9 4 stroke. I has not been in the water for at least 8 years, or even run for that long.
The owner has pulled and turned the unit over every once and awhile he says. I am assuming that these are decent motors and worth taking a look at.
He feels there has not been 50 hrs put on the unit since new, he has been the only onwer.
Should I take it in to a shop for service.
Should I do a DIY tune up oils, plugs etc myself.
What else should I look for.
Is it worth even going through the effort.
He will give me the motor in exchange for taking him out this summer... so other then getting it running that would be my only cost.
Any comments or thoughts would be great.
