what phatdaddy said. Put a water pump in(do the whole housing and base), while you are stareing at it, you might as well replace the shift shaft seal assembly, it takes a special tool, if you don't wan't to tackle it, see if you can find a mechanic to replace it for you, if its in good shape, it doesn't take long. After that, the only seals you should have to worry about is the prop shaft seals. Pull the prop and look at them, if they don't look good, then have them replaced. Pull the carbs and go thru them, rebuild or replace the fuel pump(some times its cheap to replace it), replace all the fuel lines. Not knowing the history of the engine, I would ditch the oil injection. replace the thermostats and the poppet valve. Its rare for the spark plug wires to break down, they are solid core wire, clean up the insulation, if it still looks bad, replace them, check the terminal ends of the wires, clean them up, put some dielectric grease on them, check the grounds on the coils. get a new set of plugs but don't install them yet. this spring when you are ready to get it going, run it up to temp in the water, check the linkages and timing( i would drop the total back 2 degrees to tolerate the crappy fuel we have) do a heavy decarb using power tune, run the snot out of it, bring it back and them put the fresh plugs in it. After all this, you should be good to go. This is exactly what I plan to do to my 200 when I get to the engine part of my V, its going to be a while, so I will probably do it last. If you get too cold with it up there, bring to Charleston and I'll do it
