I have a 1944 40 hp johnson that sat for 25 years. Needed to rebuild the carb, was all gummed up. Everything else was fine, after normal lube maintaince, etc..
I would go for it. Has it been in fresh or saltwater? Mine was fresh only.
It shouldn't take to much. Is it an electric start or a cord start?
