1990 Mercury Force - Been sitting for several years

[jachunter]

Hey guys...Getting ready to possibly purchase a mercury force 150 that has been sitting for a couple years w/ no use. <br /><br />Owner says the hour meter says it only has 24 hours on it.<br /><br />Any redflags to watch for?<br /><br />I've been told I would definately need to have carbs rebuilt and possibly rings replaced. What do you think? <br /><br />Thanks for any guidance!<br /><br />Joe

You may want to ask over in the Chrysler/Force section. Those engines are out of production, the guys over there would have more information on parts availability and idiocyncracies.

Have a look at the "Awakening a Sleeping Outboard" post in the FAQ section. Very useful!
