Ummmm…. if you found crud in the carb, you may also find it in the mag and or recoil
Up north here idle outboards are the favorite long-term storage for red squirrel’s pine cones. A couple of years ago my Merc 9.8 was so jammed; I couldn’t turn it over due to a plethora of cones between the recoil and flywheel.
The cones continued to ripen (open up) after they were stashed by that industrious rodent. As they opened, they created pressure on all components under the hood — and made removing the cowl difficult.
