Default Help..Need a hand pump or something close..

Hey I am reaching out to the forums to see if anyone has this type of item to help me get my old waverunner after sitting for about 1 1/2 to 2 years. I'm already planning on replacing the spark plugs, battery, and adding in new inline fuel filter and separator. What I really need help with though is seeing if anyone has any type of pump or something close so I can suck out all the old gas and oil that are in the tanks. I have been around to Napa and other parts store and am trying to save some money so if someone has one close to me and I could borrow it for a few hours on saturday that would really help me out. I live in the sanford/lake mary area and will drive 25 miles just to get the piece if you happen to have it.

Thanks,
-Russ

Went and got a siphon pump from Harbor Freight today and was able to get the ski running in just under 1/2 a hour with some help with RSSean.

Really all we did was put some starting fluid along with some new plugs and some engine cleaner. A new battery and of course new fluids and she cranked right up on the first try. Couldn't believe it myself either but hell everything came together and worked good.
Thanks for helping me out again...I got a turkey baster already but the damn snout was definitly not long enough!
