First time poster here - I am buying a boat with a (I believe - haven't confirmed the year model) an 87 Yamaha 70hp 2-stroke motor on it. Owner says it runs fine but hasn't been started in over a year and will most likely need carb cleaning / work. I have watched a couple of carb cleaning vids on youtube and it looks straight forward. Not much different that and ATV Carb actually.
Does anyone have any pointers are advice for this motor regarding carb cleaning? I want to try and save the expense of taking it into a shop to have it done.
Worst case scenario - what would a Yamaha mechanic charge to clean up the carbs?
Here is a pic of the motor (for reference)
