all the above and the points if not electronic ignition,
check or replace engine / casing anodes (that little fin on the bottom of the cavitation plate is usually it).
Check condition of pull cord and grease mechanism with suitable grease.
Clean out waterways by running it in a bucket of antifreeze,
Check prop nut for tightness and condition of shear pin if one fitted
regrease the screws holding the o/b on to the bracket, always a problem if left out. grease tilt mechanism and bearing.

Quite so. And I'm never without a lifejacket when mowing the lawn.
(Or a liferaft/seatbelt/epirb/copy of '99 ways not to die' -- since I don't actually have a lawnmower. Or a lawn)

Second that- if the impellor fails the engine will still run but you'll end up cooking the powerhead

Take the plastic cowling off the top,
then remove the 3 nuts that hold the pull chord mech on.
Remove the fuel tank off the front and slowly work your way down ..
then flip it over and remove the 3 bolts that keep the leg on ....
keep removing bits until you find the impellor.
once you're down to just an engine block, put it all (except the impellor) in a box and post it to me so I can use it for spares!!

The latest ones are aircooled but the olders ones are not. I have one from about 96/97 and it is water cooled.

You can download a copy of the owners manual for FREE! HERE!
It has the maintainance shedule on p47 i think. (How helpful am I?!!! - thought I'd better check before posting!)
My old air-cooled 2hp model has an impeller in the leg, according to the Clymer service manual, but the owners book makes no mention of servicing it, so i assume it's a pretty low wear item compared to the impellers on water-cooled engines. (It does mention cleaning and relapping the cylinder every 300 hrs!)
