That's a good thing - at least no water poured in through the exhaust

All normal looking stuff, the rust between the block and head is normal. It looks like it does have a leak on the water pump. Personally I wouldn't worry about it because most of the time that build up seals the leak. I would recommend changing the fuel return lines and the fuel lines to the pumps. Yours are cracked and will eventually leak.

Almost looks as though the vents are screened but hard to tell from the photo.

Things I noticed whole vacuuming out the cobwebs:
Obviously someone lost the fuel filter battle. Looks like, they drained the oil, took off the oil filter, destroyed the fuel filter, gave up and gave up.
The hour meter reads 22.7 hours. Not the 222.7 in the auction listing.
Here's to hoping it was a runner undergoing incompetent quitter maintenance.
FU1 fuse and cap are still MIA.
Hopefully, January to fire it up. 2 boys playing basketball leaves little time for much else.
Take care!

Save yourself the grief... take the roof off above the controls, and remove the side panel near the water separator (or remove all bolts except for the very lowest right position... its a PITA to get to, and if you leave it in place you can rotate the entire panel up and out of the way) to access it from the side. Best tool is a nice chain filter wrench, grab it as high up as you can and give it hell. Oil the seal when you reinstall (unlike what was done at the factory...)

Dupont Krytox Teflon grease is my go to on all things with a rubber o-ring, or seal. Effortless removal down the line of such things since it does not degrade or get washed away. There are higher temp versions that are probably better, but the 206 is what I have and works well.
Take care,
Matt
