A little motor help.

[Cookslav]

Maybe?

 

I'm no motor experts but after the winter storage I noticed some Black gooey drops under the motor, and it came from the base of the Prop.

So I was thinking Prop seal leak.

I pop down to the store grab the seals, and head home.

pull the plug to drain the oil, and its not dark or black at all its clean?....

So I stop draining, and check the level....its full?

 

So my question is....what color should the oil be?

And if there was water getting in would it not be mixed in, and visible?

And....

Could this gooey black stuff be exhaust debris?

(its a mixed gas system)

Yes it is exhaust.

Yep, unburnt oil coming out the exaust. Run some seafoam thru it and you won't get that problem.

Hey thanks guys You're Awesome!

 

I was just thinking..."i've never replaced a seal before"

So I was starting to think I might have to work Tommorrow instead of Fish LOL!

 

Thanks again!
