Be sure to check the fuel lines to make sure they are not dried up. I didn't do that on an old motor, and the fuel line kept popping off the fuel pump because the fuel lines had hardened up. I had to jerry rig a cinch with 50# leader to get back in. Plus, I think the ethanol fuel will eat the old fuel lines.

Also, rebuilding the carbs is not that hard, and you can get cheap kits from Napa.
The fuel lines should be ok on that year motor as long as they are in decent shape.
