Your friend has been very generous. Buy him a beer. You're going to like this boat.

If the engine has been sitting, clean the carbs, too. As you know, two strokes get their lubricant through the fuel, so clogged passages or jets = no fuel= no lubrication = blown powerhead. It's an easy DIY job if you have the factory service manual or you know your way around a two stroke outboard. All you need is three carb gasket kits and a can of carb/throttle body cleaner. It may not need it, but it's cheap peace of mind.
