Just a thought, the rubber diaphrams and seals do not like to sit dry, how about filling the carbs and fuel system with a stabil treated gas. When you are ready just pull the bowl drains and pump some fresh gas through the fuel pump and carbs - thats what I'd do. Not sure which is worse, leaving them dry or dealing with this gas, so thats a solution anyway.

That might be a good idea. I already noticed that there is a gas leak. I can see it is coming from around one of the gaskets. I hope theres not too much damage from sitting too long. I am going to wait until I mount it on the boat to take it to get serviced. I have got the new stern laminated in and we are going to glass it in this week. The rebuild should start flowing now. I will start a thread in the repairs/mods forum with some pics of the progress.
