First start of the season

Yamaha F100a 4 stroke
Unforunately this engine was not prepared for a winter sitting idle ; no fuel stabilizer, carbs left full etc.
I was wondering how best to approach the first start attempt?
She ran like a peach all last season so I know is good at heart.
Thoughts, ideas?
Thanks
Jaba

Check the oil, drain the float chambers and prime some fuel through while the drains are out. Fire it up make sure its got oil pressure & its pumping water and take it for a run
The worst and most likely problem will be dirty carbs but you wont know for sure untill you run it
