John, that's probably a very, very good idea. I had one of those engines, 1987 -89 175 hp if I remember right, and it was a great engine, however like all the old carbed OMC engines it was in love with gas and two stroke oil!! Not as much in love with gas as my 1995 225 Ocean Pro guzzler, but still very attracted!!
