If you are so inclined, have some fun with it first, then decide it’s fate. Running it will not diminish it’s value as a collecting piece. Maybe run some of the new synthetic oil at 12:1 if you have concern about smoke…. around here we love “blue smoke” a signal that someone is out having fun with their old motor. Mater of fact, a short video of the motor pushing your boat will likely be a selling point.
