Cookslav Posted June 6, 2009 Report Share Posted June 6, 2009 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) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sinker Posted June 6, 2009 Report Share Posted June 6, 2009 Yep, unburnt oil coming out the exaust. Run some seafoam thru it and you won't get that problem. Sinker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
