Re: 150HP Johnson
Looks like you've got a good deal there. A fellow engineer/friend of mine at Pratt & Whitney later became the chief engineer of the OMC/BRP test center in Stuart, Fl. He told me that BRP really cleaned up the operation once they took over, and that all the motors built by BRP were very good!
One thing that hasn't been mentioned, and maybe you've already done this, is Stabil or equivalent in the fuel. Modern fuels will start to break down and lose octane after about 30 days if you don't put some sort of preservative in them. If it's going to sit for some time, I'd either run the carbs dry or make sure you have some preservative in the gas, especially if it's got ethanol in it!
