WD-40 is a fair cleaner, and doesn’t seem to hurt the old decals.
If it ran last year, I’d just put a little mixed gas in it and give it
a go, after making sure the gear case has the proper grease in it.
Not sure of the gas / oil mixture on that one, but 16: 1 is probably
okay unless you hear different.
I kind of started out the same way, but first “old cars”, hit and miss engines,
then outboards, as they were cheaper to obtain, fix, and tons of variety!
Enjoy.
