modrama Topic Author Offline Fresh Boarder Posts: 3 Thank you received: 0	Just acquired a 1965 MFG Edinboro with the original Mercury 650. Boat is in awesome shape after a good clean up but I know the motor has not been run for many years. Does anyone have any tips on starting a motor like this out of the water. Thanks in advance.
