[Public-list] Graymarine Engine transplant

[William Wallace]

Before thinking of replacing it, why not get it running, check the 
compression, oil, etc. and give it a tune up with new plugs, 
distributor wires, and points and condensor and rotor...oil change with 
filter and new fuel filters, clean tank, check for leaks, add new fuel 
with preservative and run it!

They are excellent engines and well made, also easy to completely 
overall if necessary
