On the lower unit there is a slot screw and a star shape DON"T take the star out. The flat screw next to it can come out and the other flat up higher can come out to change the oil, check gas lines and maybe the bowl on the carb, looks like good, when you get in running check to see the temp. of the water coming out if its warm -hot you may need a new impeller if fact I would change it to be on the safe side, four screws to drop the lower unit and one screw for the linkage for gears.

 

As Calender Don mentioned DON'T remove the star screw.It holds the shift dog in place inside the housing.Can be a real pain if it doesn't line up and a pain if you have to go into the housing to center it.

Black is'nt so bad, gunky could be a problem. Don't forget you are burning a gas/oil mixture. Gunky might mean a mixture adjustement.

Like others have said. Change the impeller then refill the lower unit with 90 weight gear lube.

Well there has been no progress on the motor since the last post.... I slipped a disk in my back on sunday... playing FRISBEE of ALLLLL things ! I can tell ya one thing, I dont wish the pain on my worst enemy... I was layed up for 2 and a half days.... todays first day back to work and I STILL can barely walk !

 

I think Im going to save myself some time and hassel.. and the possibility of ruining the unit... and just dropping it off to a local guy here that was well referred !

 

Thanks for all the help thus far everyone !
