CRAPPIE Posted July 7, 2013 Report Posted July 7, 2013 First time use this propane outboard and work great . When I brought it home I put the outboard upside down and there were all engine oil on the floor. But when I open the cover, inside the engine is pretty clean. Why is that, will it affect the outboard performance? Where is engine oil leak from? Thanks in advance!
DRIFTER_016 Posted July 7, 2013 Report Posted July 7, 2013 You stored the motor incorrectly. It's a 4 stroke and they need to be stored correctly or the engine oil will leak out. Either store it upright or (usually) they are required to lie on one side only. It will say in the owners manual. Most small 4 strokes I've used require being laid down on the side of the tiller handle if transporting. Check the engine oil to make sure is within' the safe zone since you had a leak. Top up if low and you should be good to go.
BITEME Posted July 7, 2013 Report Posted July 7, 2013 pull the plug(s) and roll it aover a few times to get any oil out the could of settled in the bore
CRAPPIE Posted July 8, 2013 Author Report Posted July 8, 2013 Can someone tell me where did the engine oil came out from when I put it upside down . I will refill the engine oil. Will the leak engine oil damage other parts or component of my outboard? Thanks again
