I think you can get a new tank and primer bulb from wal-mart for about $75.00 (just bought all this stuff a few weeks ago.) If the motor has not been used in a while it is going to more than likely need a carb rebuild and a water pump. However if it was used recently .... and had treated fuel in it ....... it might start with fresh fuel. (Don't forget to have the fuel vent open on the tank.)
This is where you have to start. If the original metal tank has any rust in it not worth trying to fix.

Thanks, Top. It's a fairly new plastic tank, so that's good. The previous owner said he'd run it out of gas when finishing for the season, and he's never had a problem starting it again in spring, so I'm hoping the carb is good.
What mix do I need to use? My plan is to throw it on the boat with some fresh fuel and see how it goes.
