4 cycle outboards are nice, aren't they? Fogging the engine may have fouled the plugs a bit. They should clear themselves fine once you launch; just be sure never to run the starter for more than about a ten-second burst without time to cool off. Even a quarter turn of the engine will do in a dry water pump impeller, so don't check that battery by just hitting the starter a little bit before you launch. Another bit of experience: for some reason I popped the cover on a 35 Honda before dropping it into the water one spring. Something looked fishy, so I took off the air cleaner housing. Inside were 45 acorns. I don't know how well it would have run had I started it. Several of us have shared that outboard for ten years now, and it was used when we bought it. One impeller, a yearly oil change and a few spark plugs are about all it has asked of us. I've never seen a better outboard motor.
