    2 years sitting isn’t much if properly maintained and stored properly
    change the impeller anyway . seafoam did wonders to my snowblower carb so you can try that and some Merc Power tune for the innards

    carb is a lot more complicated (parts) than my old 9.8 carb …..personally I would just give it a good run and see how it reacts

    test compression just for your own peace of mind and install new plugs …change gearcase oil and check for water infiltration ( usually foamy cream color oil)

    if not a salty… I would not mess with the thermostat .. maybe if symptoms develop
