This is why I hire out all my outboard work.... Season is too short. I am sure I could save a few bucks winterizing and commissioning engine, but he knows and can recognize stuff that I would be guessing at.

Up and running!
Changed out bulb, micron filter, plugs and OEM filter..
Emptied out most of the fuel out of the 10 micron mini filter, shook it, dumped into glass , got this...

Not sure what that orange stuff is, feels a little gritty
The black stuff is definitely rubber IMO
Got her up to 5K RPM good enough for now...
Ordering VST filter to change when I have time..

LOL
couldn’t remember, was it last year? Or year before!
Pretty sure I got a bad fill up of chit gas and it went right through the engine, had the injectors cleaned also and now back up to over 5K rpm....
Now I’m down to a fuel line leak that dumb arz me didn’t catch before putting it all back together...
